SUMMARY:Kairos Palestine: “Faith in a Time of Genocide”
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of Israel’s ongoing 2½ years of genocide in Gaza and intensified military and settler violence in the West Bank\, part of a decades-long occupation\, Kairos Palestine\, a Palestinian Christian ecumenical movement of creative resistance\, issued its second seminal document\, “A Moment of Truth: Faith in a Time of Genocide\,” in November 2025.  The document follows Kairos Palestine’s initial document\, “A Moment of Truth – A Word of Faith\, Hope and Love from the Heart of Palestinian Suffering\,” from Dec. 2009.  What does the second document say about the current reality?  What does it call on us as US Christians and churches to do to offer a positive witness of solidarity for Palestinians in the struggle for justice? \nJoin us for a webinar featuring Rifat Kassis\, the General Coordinator of Kairos Palestine\, and Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac\, pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hope in Ramallah\, Palestine\, and Founding Director of the Bethlehem Institute of Peace and Justice\, a center affiliated with the Bethlehem Bible College.  Mr. Kassis and Rev. Isaac are co-authors of the Kairos Palestine II document\, and both are contributing authors to Rooted in Faith and Justice: Christian Calls to Conscience & Cries for Peace in Palestine.  Together\, they will help us to dive deeper into the reality of Palestinian Christians today\, their witness and context\, and what is required of the global Christian community to accompany them.

SUMMARY:Future of Faith: Small Town - Full Building
DESCRIPTION:First Congregational Church of Benzonia United Church of Christ strives to create a united community in Christ’s Love. Instead of focusing on the lack of children in the church on Sunday mornings\, we shifted our focus to getting community groups and other organizations into the building throughout the week. We share our hospitality and love by opening our doors (and parking lot) to various groups in our community. From hosting 12-step programs\, to tutoring\, to Single MOMMS\, and the Father Fred Back to School Shoe Event (just to name a few!)\, we are living into our community.

SUMMARY:Youth Lead: Faith\, Identity\, and Calling with Raven Trammell
DESCRIPTION:The next generation of faith leaders is already reshaping what community and calling can look like. Join us for a conversation with Raven Trammell\, storyteller\, speaker\, and founder of Culture Shift\, a creative project exploring spirituality\, identity\, and purpose through storytelling. \nAfter experiencing a traumatic brain injury during his college basketball career\, Raven returned to photography and storytelling\, something he first discovered as a child\, as a way to preserve memory and make meaning of life’s turning points. Today he shares his journey\, including his experience as a trans person navigating faith and identity\, to encourage others\, especially young adults\, LGBTQ+ people\, and Black and Brown communities\, to live fully into who God created them to be. \nThis one-hour conversation will explore resilience\, faith\, identity\, and the ways new generations are imagining spiritual community beyond traditional walls.
