Rev. Nadia Bolz Weber writes, "Jesus seemed to want connection with those around him, not separation. He touched human bodies deemed unclean as if they were themselves holy; dead little girls, lepers, menstruating women.  He kept violating boundaries of decency to get to the people on the other side of that boundary, those who had been wounded by it.. He cared about real holiness, the connection of things human and divine… the coming together of that which was formerly set apart." 

Join us this Sunday as we deep dive into Matthew 15, where Jesus has an uncomfortable conversation with the Pharisees, and then seems to get challenged to practice what he preaches in another uncomfortable conversation with a desperate unnamed Canaanite woman. Join us for "Holiness and Wholeness:  Reclaiming the Crumbs, Fragments, and Shards and Bringing Together That Which Has Been Set Apart (koinoó:: κοινόω)" I look forward to being with you on Zoom for this very present day relevant conversation. -Rev. Jeanne

Transitions Group

Transitions Group

On the first Thursday of each month our Transitions group gathers on Zoom from 10:30-12:00. We provide a safe place- a circle of love, support, and wisdom for everyone who is in transition. Some of us are in places of not knowing about health and family issues, some are on cancer journeys, some have lost jobs, are having financial struggles, are grieving the loss of loved ones, or just trying to find the ground after the trauma of the pandemic. We have a covenant of confidentiality with one another and use poetry (Currently Jan Richardson's book "Blessings in times of Grief") as a container and talk about how the Divine is present and moving in our lives. And we do it  in a very ecumenical openhearted way- so no matter what your spiritual background (or not) you are welcome to join us. Rev. Jeanne leads this group and offers gentle group care and guidance for our conversations. Please contact us via the form on the contact page of the website if you are interested in attending or have questions.  We are grateful to have this ministry opportunity to offer the big-hearted journey support that is one of our core strengths at UCH.  

P.S. This is safe, welcoming space for lgbtqia+ folkx.

 Brene Brown writes that "Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we’ll ever do." The LGBTQIA+ community models this bravery for us every day by giving us the complex gift and varied spiritual practice of coming out. This PRIDE Sunday we will celebrate this bravery, and explore how we are ALL called to come out and deepen our spiritual journeys. We will be reflecting on John 11 and the story of the "Raising of Lazarus"  We/UCH will also be "coming out" in a new way as beloved community this Sunday as we live-stream our congregational conversation and reflection time after the sermon for the first time. (This is a big outreach step for us. And you are more than welcome to turn off your camera if you would rather not be live-streamed) I look forward to being with you Sunday for  Living Unbound (luó: λύω): The Sacramental Process of Coming Out (deuro δεῦρο) - Rev. Jeanne

Scripture Seekers Bible Study (via Zoom)
Jun

Scripture Seekers Bible Study (via Zoom)

Scripture Seekers just started a new Bible Study on the Gospel of Mark. And we invite you to join (or rejoin) us!

The book we are using is: "Mark for Everyone" (The 20th Anniversary Edition) By N.T. (Tom) Wright. I'm sure "Books on B" would order it for you, or it is available at this link in paperback or e-book. There is also a larger print version floating around:  Mark for Everyone book by N. T. Wright, Mark Price: 9780664266387 

There are many in our nation who are really distorting the Christian scriptures, and teachings of Jesus beyond recognition right now. The stakes are very high. And as we navigate that, I think it important that we remain committed to rooting ourselves in the scriptures, and exploring what Jesus really said and taught during these challenging times.

I look forward to accompanying you on this journey. If you have any questions. Please let me know.  See you'all @5:30 

- With Infinite Love and Gratitude, Rev. Jeanne.

 Join us on Zoom, or by phone (audio only): (669) 900-6833.

We are a theologically progressive, open and affirming congregation. Our Bible Study reflects that. Your theological reflections are welcome. Your harm is not.
