Red State Revivals: An evening With Nadia Bolz-Weber
Highlands United Methodist Church Sanctuary
Date: Thursday, 2/20/25
Time: 7:00-8:30 p.m.
Why a Red State Revivals Tour?
Because first and foremost, this is not the moment to concede the Christian faith to nationalists. Nor is it the moment to double down on things that don’t work.
I’m just not willing to keep having my ideas about myself, other people and the world be more informed by shit I read on the internet than on what I experience in my actual life.
So I want to gather with you, laugh with you, and sing with you. I want a couple hours of actual life that is free from despair and free from self-righteousness.
I want us to remind each other of what’s most important and least popular right now. Namely: humility, curiosity, mercy and hope – the things Jesus of Nazareth yammered on about and that were as difficult to embrace then as they are now.
In other words, I do not want to be afraid and I do not want to be alone.
So let’s gather in the good and holy flesh and revive our weary hearts.
Here’s the schedule:
5:45-6:30 Pop-up Choir practice with Nadia. Do you like to sing? Then show up because you’re in. Nothing else needed.
6:30 doors open
7-8:30 event
Would love to see you there!
Bring a friend. Bring an enemy. All are welcome.
