Resistance Is the Secret of Joy! With Rev. Dr. Mellen Kennedy Sunday, June 14, 10 am, via Zoom.

In this whirlwind of an interesting time, let's explore ways of expressing our anger, experiencing our pain and staying centered. What will truly bring us the strength, sustenance, salvation and solace that we're yearning for? Feel free to bring a percussion instrument (need not be fancy, say, a pepper shaker), a cotton ball and/or cotton cloth, some rice, and your open mind and loving heart. Special music by Matt Meserve and Julane Deener.

-------------- "Climate Church, Climate World, How People of Faith Must Work for Change" by Rev. Jim Antal Sunday, June 14th, 12:30-2 pm

"Climate Church, Climate World" argues that climate change is the greatest moral challenge humanity has ever faced; t multiplies all forms of global social injustice: hunger, refugees, poverty, inequality, deadly viruses, war.

Environmental leader Reverend Jim Antal presents a compelling case that it's time for the church to meet this moral challenge, just as the church addressed previous moral challenges.
