This sermon series offers another look at sacrifice and the implications of sacrifice in a system that commodifies bodies, that measures worth by work, that is a constant competitive race and some have obstacles whereas others have motorized vehicles.

Come Re-Imagine Sacrifice with us. About Park Avenue Baptist: Park Ave is a bold, inclusive, and creative community where everyone is welcome. We uplift voices and identities that are marginalized elsewhere.
