We welcome and affirm the statement from the American Baptist Churches of Michigan that was posted to Facebook on at 6:47pm on Wednesday, January 6, 2021 in response to the violence taking place at the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C.

During the holiday season, we sing songs of joy, of being merry and of hopeful anticipation. For some, however, the holidays are not a time of joy and hope, but instead can be difficult and depressing times.
