Dear Passing the Peace Readers, 

Have I ever introduced you to my friend Micah Bournes? We met back in 2018 at the Skylight Festival, an event dedicated to faith, the arts, and justice that was held at Five Oaks. Micah has travelled all the way from his home in Long Beach, California to share his poetry and we were so blessed that he did! 

Micah describes himself as a creative man of faith: musician, poet, educator, writer, and more. I have come to know Micah as someone who is brilliant at cultivating joy, passionate about justice, and someone who teaches vulnerability by being a great example. I wanted to share with you one of his poems called “Church is:” 

After hearing this poem, how might you want to finish the sentence: “Church is…”? Feel free to hit "Reply" and let me know!

May the peace of Christ be with you this week, 

 

Yours in Christ, 

Rev Michiko
