While this is prompted by the violent events in Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay, there is no shortage of personal and collective grief that needs a place to be held and processed. Bring yourself and whatever you are carrying. When we come together, we can carry more together. In singing together, we can see, hear, and feel our community, and tap into what's on our soul and add it to a sound tapestry container we hold together.

Our space will be held by mixed Asian song leaders, Liz Digitale Anderson and Conie Borchardt (GOOD TROUBLE). They will guide us in

Year End BnR Fundraising Gratitude & S T R E T C H!

This update is about a month overdue. Partly because of shock (we made our initial goal! What what?!?) and partly because it's a pretty busy time for church musicians everywhere.

We feel so appreciative of all our donors. The ones who gave $2,500 and those who gave $10. You're all the same to us. We're feeling the love and support for the Biracial & Rural community and the Freeing Stuck Refrains project at Points of Light Music pretty strongly. Thank you.

With four days left in the calendar year, we're putting out a stretch goal of $5,000. We'll only $605 short of that now. Those funds will go toward creating an in-person gathering of Freeing Refrains.

  

Can you help us reach this goal?  Donate here.
