SUMMARY:Disability Justice in Congregational Contexts Part I: What is Disability and What is Ableism?
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited for a 3-part series to go deeper into the All Church Read\, “Building Up a New World: Congregational Organizing for Transformative Impact\,” focusing on Chapter 5\, “Disability Justice in Congregational Contexts” with current and former members of the UCC Disability Ministries Board. \nIn Part I\, we’ll explore the complexities and different models of disability to better understand and define disability as it relates to lived experiences. We’ll also explore ableism — the system of oppression experienced by disability communities. This understanding will serve as a foundation for parts II and III of the series.

SUMMARY:Future of Faith: Grace in the Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:So many of us are living in the most divided times we’ve known collectively. Between fascism\, genocide\, war\, famine\, environmental collapse\, and uncertainty about our relationships and what we are called to be in such a time – we find ourselves deepening or returning to our faith. Join New Hampshire Conference Minister Rev. Gordon Rankin for an engaging conversation around the future of faith in their local and regional contexts and discover how finding grace in the wilderness can be a counter-cultural practice of living into our faith expressions.

SUMMARY:What's Next Series: How Art Deepens and Enriches Worship in Divided Times
DESCRIPTION:Join us for another edition of our What’s Next Series\, a series curated to help us ask what we can do in divided times. We’ll be joined by Rev. Marshela Salgado for an engaging online conversation exploring how art can deepen and enrich worship. Rev. Salgado will share about the work that her congregation has done to promote various forms of art in worship\, from art shows to various worship series: Theology of Broadway\, [Pop]Culture Theology\, Banned Books and more. Together\, they’ll discuss practical ways to weave visual\, musical\, and creative expressions into the worship experience that inspire connection\, reflection\, justice\, and community. This workshop will offer both theological insights and hands-on ideas for integrating art in ways that speak to the heart and spirit of your congregation. \nThe What’s Next series began prior to the 2024 election cycle and is designed to help educate us around the big questions of our faith. This special offering is curated to push back on the political ideology and divide that has become this nation’s “religion”. To live into the Still Speaking G-d\, we are the embodiment of who and what we are called to be to one another – whether it be spiritually\, culturally\, and lovingly during a time when we are being pulled apart at the seams. Part of this embodiment is examining the ways that art speaks and moves us towards expression and collectiveness.

SUMMARY:Let the Children Come
DESCRIPTION:Through the Love of Children program we are exploring ways to create spaces where children are welcomed and embraced to come as they truly are. One of the most important places children gather is during worship/Sunday morning. Three of our current Love of Children cohort members will share experiences and best practices on how to create safe and welcoming spaces for children in the local church and beyond. We hope you will gain some insights on child development\, the need for inclusive spaces that meet the developmental needs of young people and hear some exciting things that you can try in your own congregation. Panelists will also speak to how the Love of Children cohort has strengthened their ministry and welcome others to apply for the 2026 cohort.
