Come celebrate with stories of the city and learn the lessons of a region that intentionally marginalized an entire population, and what we can do about it now.

A Message from the Margins
A Message from the Margins will be a call to listen more deeply into the voices, stories, and truths that often go unheard. In this message, we’ll explore the spiritual and social realities of “the margins”, those spaces where people are pushed, silenced, or overlooked.

This is a message about reclaiming voice, restoring dignity, and realizing that justice doesn’t flow from the center, but from the edge.
