Statement that Black Lives Matter
Our welcome statement affirms people from all genders, ethnicities, races, sexualities, and more. Therefore, we naturally stand with marginalized people affected especially by extra-judicial violence. Especially we stand with black lives affected by violence.
Every day, we recommit to healing ourselves and each other, and to co-creating alongside comrades, allies, and family a culture where each person feels seen, heard, and supported.
We acknowledge, respect, and celebrate differences and commonalities.
We work vigorously for freedom and justice for Black people and, by extension, all people.
We intentionally build and nurture a beloved community that is bonded together through a beautiful struggle that is restorative, not depleting.
Our worship series from October 25 to November 22, 2020, is "Everyday Saints: Faithfulness in the Day-to-Day". We are using stories of faithfulness in scripture and in real life as we welcome these speakers:
Rev. Dr. Bill Mefford, Author: Author of The Fig Tree Revolution: Unleashing Local Churches into the Mission of Justice
Karina O'Malley: Worked at The Sophia Way and is vital to local church homeless ministry
Chris Hoke: Director of Underground Ministries connecting to incarcerated people
Rev. Richenda Fairhurst: Steward of Climate at Circle Faith Future connecting to build communal care for interrupting the climate crisis
Rev. Izzy Alvaran: Community Organizer for Reconciling Ministries Network connecting to people for LGBTQIA2S+ inclusion
Bible and Book Study
Starting November 8th and going through January 24, we will be doing the video study, "Guided by Grace, Love & Light: Opening Up Into Ourselves." We will be exploring what it means to live into the God qualities of grace, love, and light as liberating messengers from God.
