Tomorrow’s Shalom Summit explores peace, justice and flourishing
Our community longs for shalom, God’s peace, justice and flourishing. The Shalom Summit is a time to pause together in worship, prayer and learning as we explore what it means to practice shalom.
The Shalom Summit, set from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday) in the chapel, will include workshops and activities:
- D’Metri Mattocks-Lopez, “Let Hope Arise”: Stories of hope and crafting “Shalom Statements” together
- Rev. Joel Sommer, “Survive. Thrive. Resist.”: Contemplative practices like silence, Sabbath, and Scripture to help justice seekers stay grounded
- Dr. Sadara Shine, “Justice Flows Where Prayer Intercedes”: How prayer fuels courage, clarity and lasting restoration in justice work
We’ll also hear from voices shaping conversations on justice, art, and hope:
- Jennifer Toledo (Expressions58): “Sustaining Hope While Seeking Shalom” (Main Session 1)
- Susie Gamez (Midtown Church): “Sustaining Hope While Seeking Shalom” (Main Session 2)
- Propaganda (PropHipHop): “Connecting Art and Justice”
Chapel credit will be available! Students, staff, faculty, administrators and friends are all welcome to come and “seek the shalom of the city” (Jeremiah 29:7).
