SUMMARY:Responding to the Deadly ICE Detention System: Ways to Resist
DESCRIPTION:As Immigration and Custom’s Enforcement (ICE) continues to terrorize communities\, separate families\, and even kill citizens and non-citizens alike as part of this administration’s mass deportation campaign\, there is also increased public scrutiny of this country’s detention center system for migrants.  In 2025 alone\, ICE broke records for the number of people who have died in detention\, most often due to the horrific conditions and lack of proper medical care. Since this administration’s inauguration in 2025\, 52 people have died in detention according to Human Rights Watch—four times that of the previous administration. Join us to learn from UCC pastors and lay leaders as they share how they’ve taken action and learn what we can do as people of faith to stop detention and continue to resist this deadly system. \nPanelists include:  \n\nRev. Ali Lopez-Valcarcel\nRev. Deborah Lee\nRev. Dr. Laurinda Hafner\nRev. ellie hutchison\nRev. Lesley Jones\n\n

SUMMARY:Vote with Love: Mobilizing Our Communities This Midterm Election

SUMMARY:Future of Faith: Communities of Deep Conversation
DESCRIPTION:In this fraught time\, when loneliness is epidemic\, when fear can lead to silence or dwelling on the superficial\, when political polarization pulls us into circles of sameness creating an “us” vs. “them\,” the work of sustaining communities of deep conversation is essential and it is hard. In our time together\, we will explore the gifts of the UCC that nurture theological humility and shared leadership\, the particular challenges of this time\, and the image of the mobius strip. How do we cultivate empathy and imagination\, honoring differences and practicing discernment\, as we clarify our sense of communal and individual purpose?

SUMMARY:Future of Faith | Embodiment & Co-Creativity Starts at HOME
DESCRIPTION:How does freedom feel\, sound\, taste\, smell\, and look when it moves beyond permission to do whatever one wills to a capacity to choose a love ethic no matter the circumstance? What becomes possible within ourselves and our KINnections with each other every time we choose co-created faith in action\, ethics engagement\, and values embodiment. What does that even mean specifically in our day-to-day\, and what does it take to be consistent in commitment? What’s the role of Liberation Arts\, Liberation Education\, Liberation Psychology\, and Liberation Theology—in building the intersections of “sites of resistance” that bell hooks described? Join us for this engaging conversation about why embodied spirituality is urgently necessary for us today as we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
