Motus Theater & Mountain View United Methodist Church have a special presentation of our Welcoming the Stranger series on Sunday, January 16th at 9:30am. During this presentation, Rev. Kidwell will stand in the shoes of Cristian Solano-Córdova from Motus’ UndocuAmerica project, by reading aloud his story of enduring courage in the journey across the border, through threats, and towards liberty. The monologue is followed by a musical response from Director of Music & Worship Arts, Brian du Fresne.

After the reading, Pastor Stephanie will share her personal and theological reflections on the impact of reading Christian's story, followed by Christian’s response on having his story read aloud. The entire audience will have an opportunity to express sacred hospitality by reading aloud a short excerpt of Christian’s story and sharing their experiences.
