Channel: UU Church of the Desert
Date: 08/10/2023

Worship Leader: Rev. Jackie Conley
Worship Associate: Joni Padduck

We are all victims of the culture of violence in America. Jackie Conley, a United Methodist Minister and Christian educator, who lost a son to complications from a gunshot wound, will highlight the history and debunk some myths about guns in America. She will share her son Brandon’s story and her personal experience as a survivor of gun violence. She will reflect on the “Gun Culture” we all live in today and how it has evolved. She hopes to move us from resignation or despair to hope, sharing the way to become Peacemakers.
