news brief

Rededication of Sacred Space
Lyons Community Church
November 4th, 6:30 PM

Join the Lyons Community Church for an intentional historical transformation of our Lyons Community Church. 

According to pastor Emily Hagan, “We know that historically in December of 1924, fifty members of the KKK came in full regalia to a funeral at our church. We’d love to have at least 50 people commit to anti-racist practice as a way of reclaiming the space for love.”
 
All welcome to gather on November 4th at 6:30pm for a brief presentation about the historical event and a rededication of the sacred space to welcome people of all races, genders, and ethnicities.
