General Admission - FREE - BY RESERVATION ONLY. 

Please join us for a special community event, “Hope Over Hate”, on Thursday, May 9 at 7pm.

Rev. Dr. Joe Cobb will serve as a moderator for a discussion with the co-founders of Serve2Unite, an organization that seeks to address the root causes of hate-motivated violence. The speakers are Pardeep Singh Kaleka whose father, the leader of a Wisconsin Sikh Temple, was one of six people shot and killed by a white supremacist, and Arno Michaelis, who helped found that very same white supremacy organization. The story is of how understanding, hope, and friendship can overcome hate.
