Pray for the Redeemer youth and leaders who are going to the Do-Justice retreat this weekend (March 4-5) at Bay Lake Camp. The purpose of the retreat is to engage young leaders, from different congregations and contexts across the metro, in conversation and shared learning, while working toward solutions through advocacy and education. The retreat will focus on the issues surrounding race, inequality, and stereotypes that continue to cause outrage in communities across the United States and leave us wondering how we as Christians are called to respond in a broken world.
 
Mark your calendar: The next H-Cubed will be on Friday, March 18 from 6-9PM at Venture North. This month’s theme will be identity.
