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:Economic Justice: Love Our Laborers as Yourself
DESCRIPTION:We all feel a call to “do what you love.” Parents\, teachers\, pastors and culture all reinforce the message. Most importantly\, the call comes from the Spirit within. To work and play freely\, without shame or exploitation\, is to feel integrated and alive internally – and within community and society. Tragically\, our dominant\, oppressive economic system deprives almost everyone of realizing this freedom to thrive. Too many are simply trying to survive under harrowing circumstances. That is ungodly. Is it possible to pivot from anti-Christ economy to loving our laborers? We can and must fight for living wages\, guaranteed housing\, and dignity imbued into every endeavor\, in Jesus’ name. \nJoin the conversation with Nurture the Soul and learn how you and your church can concretely manifest sustained justice now and growing forward. \nRev. Seth Wispelwey is the Minister for Economic Justice with the National Ministries of the United Church of Christ. He has an extensive background in grassroots organizing with people of faith and conscience on a variety of justice issues. In his current role\, Seth is focused on coming alongside congregations with training materials\, discipleship curriculums\, and meaningful solidarity actions for manifesting thriving and liberation for all. He loves spending free time gardening\, cooking\, enjoying great horror films\, and dreaming about whales. Seth lives and works from Charlottesville\, Virginia with his family.

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:World Refugee Day Ecumenical Service
DESCRIPTION:“To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.” –Simone Weil \nJoin us Wednesday\, June 17th\, 6:00-7:00 pm ET\, for an online ecumenical worship service in observance of World Refugee Day. With the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program frozen since January 2025 and resettled refugees facing an onslaught of diminishing protections and expanding threats\, it is more important than ever to gather in lament\, solidarity\, and celebration of the right to seek refuge. With contributions from the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)\, Church of the Brethren\, Presbyterian Church (USA)\, Pacific Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church\, and the United Church of Christ\, we will worship through prayer\, art\, music\, and reflections from pastors with their own stories of migration. “For I was hungry and you gave me food\, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink\, I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Matthew 25:35)
