The Beatitudes

From June 14 through August 17, Pastor Lindsay will be preaching on the Beatitudes as laid out in Matthew 5 and Luke 6. She will be working from a book called Claiming the Beatitudes: Nine Stories from a New Generation by Anne Sutherland Howard. The book interviews 9 pastors who are doing unique and radical social justice work as an interpretation of the Beatitudes and instruction of Jesus. It's not necessary to read the book to be guided by the sermons, but you're welcome to read along if you like.
