Misplaced Love destroys the balance of the universe and throws everything off track and out of whack. It inhibits us from loving our neighbor effectively!

We welcome Pastor Stephen “Cue” Jn-Marie this morning. Cue is the Pastor and founder of The Row LA  – “The Church Without Walls” founded in 2006, in Downtown Los Angeles’ Skid Row community.

For the past 16 plus years, Cue has advocated for the rights of homeless people, especially through his ministry. Cue also works to defend the rights of workers, immigrants, Muslims, and many others who are marginalized and vulnerable in our society. Among his main areas of interest is increasing police accountability and dismantling mass incarceration and the police state in Los Angeles and Houseless-ness. A graduate of the Passing the Mantle Program at the University of Southern California and USC’s Institute for Violence Prevention, Cue is the visionary and co-church planter of NewSong LA Covenant Church in Culver City, the visionary and founder of Creating Justice LA, a member of Black Lives Matter LA, a co-founder of Clergy 4 Black Lives, and a recipient of the KCET/PBS 2019 Southern California local Hero designation.
