SUMMARY:Juneteenth Commemoration 2026: In Troubling Times Consult the Ancestors!
DESCRIPTION:Juneteenth marks the official end of the enslavement of African descended people in the U.S. The original legal declaration was signed into law by Abraham Lincoln January 1\, 1863\, which instituted The Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is also known as Freedom Day nationally\, and Emancipation Day in Texas\, and became an official holiday in the State of Texas in 1980. President Joe Biden officially signed into Law Juneteenth as a National Day of Remembrance\, June 17\, 2021. \nRacial Justice Ministries of the United Church of Christ invite you to engage in prophetic remembering to confront the challenges of our time. Nurturing a movement toward justice for all is a sacred call for liberators and freedom fighters to seek wisdom from Old and New Testament Prophets who stood up against the empires of their day and to gain inspiration from modern prophets who lead the resistance to oppressive tyrannies\, ideologies\, and theologies. Racial Justice Ministries and wisdom teachers of the United Church of Christ National Ministries invite you to listen and learn how to thrive during national and global threats from authoritarian leaders.

SUMMARY:Fostering Vitality: Liturgical Resources for a Faithful & Vital Church
DESCRIPTION:You may have noticed a special after Pentecost sermon series titled: Faithful and Vital. Inspired by conversations with local church leaders\, Minister for Worship and Theology\, Rev. Dr. Cheryl Lindsay began the process to create worship resources inviting us to remember who we are and who we could be through the framework of the Marks of Faithful and Vital Local Churches from the United Church of Christ Manual on Local Church. Join us for an engaging conversation to learn more about how this project came together\, what the spirit behind the messages are and how these liturgical resources can support engaging faith-rooted dialogue within your own local church setting around the Manual on Local Church’s Marks for Faithful and Vital Churches.
