Biblical & cultural teachings along with current events in Native Country help us understand the world we live in.

Language is a window into how people think, thus we must take every opportunity to learn indigenous languages.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We are grateful to the Ho-Chunk, Menominee, and Potawatomi for their work and lifestyle on the “Good Land,” (Milwaukee) prior and after European contact. As we GATHER we formally acknowledge the land and its stewards past, present, and future. We recognize and honor all Indigenous People as the original caretakers of the “Gathering Place by the Waters” (Ominowaakiing).
