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.

SUMMARY:Can Advocacy with Congress Still Accomplish Anything?
DESCRIPTION:Congress is frequently described as gridlocked\, polarized\, and dysfunctional with one notable exception: impeccable service for the donor class. It is enough to prompt mass conversions of even the most ardent optimists to zealous cynicism. In such a world\, is there any hope for advocacy? In this webinar\, we will hear from Sam Daley-Harris who has been training and equipping others to swim upstream against the currents of political despair for over 45 years. Over and over again\, he has coached and encouraged advocates as they have achieved tangible results. In fact\, he is the founder of a highly successful anti-poverty organization called RESULTS. He is also the author of “Reclaiming Our Democracy: Every Citizen’s Guide to Transformational Advocacy.” \nEven if you cannot make the webinar at its scheduled time\, still sign-up\, and we will send you a link to a recording of it. \nThis monthly installment of Creation Justice Webinars is co-hosted by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt who serves as the Minister of Environmental Justice for the United Church of Christ and the Rev. Michael Malcom who serves as the Executive Director for Alabama Interfaith Power & Light and the People’s Justice Council.

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:Faith\, Disability\, and the Crisis of Homelessness
