Howard Thurman writes, "Do not be silent. There is no limit to the power that may be released through you."  Join us this Sunday as we explore Luke 4, and what Rev. Nadia Bolz Webber calls "A Hell of a First Sermon."  But Jesus' initially successful sermon has some serious consequences that result in threats on his life. What does it mean to be bearers of the light of Christ when there is personal cost? Where are we being called to shine light, so we can discern the truth and see more clearly?  How are we called to be when being light bearers and standing in our integrity results in challenge and peril? I look forward to being with you for "Centered and In the Middle (mesos:: μέσος) of it: Bearing the Light So We Can Embody/See (Anablepsis ἀνάβλεψις): the Truth (Even When It Comes at a Cost). We will be exploring current events (including Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde's sermon this week), and our role and calling as followers of Jesus to speak truth to power and to bear the Christ light powerfully - even when it gets uncomfortable. I look forward to being with you for the Zoom and the Livestream. Infinite Love and Gratitude -Rev. Jeanne

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.
