Patterns of Liberation: Leaving the Light On

This is the second sermon in a four-part series focusing on our church’s abolitionist heritage and connection with the Undergound Railroad. Each week will focus on a different pattern from Ozella’s Quilt Code that can be found in the book Hidden in Plain View.

"Log Cabin: This pattern referred to the act of drawing a symbol on the ground in order to recognize persons with whom it was safe to communicate. A black center in the quilt block is a sign of the Underground Railroad; sometimes a yellow center represented the "function of the cabin as a light or beacon in the wilderness as a safe house." -- The scriptures speak of our role as a community and as individuals to bear the light of Christ and be conduits of God's shalom, wholeness and liberation.
