SUMMARY:An Indigenous Translation of Scripture
DESCRIPTION:The “First Nations Version” is an Indigenous translation of the Christian scriptures. It brings a fresh language to how these scriptures are conveyed and understood. Notably\, a decolonized rendering of the sacred texts articulates a different understanding of how humans understand their relationship to both God and all of God’s creation. In this webinar\, we will hear from three members of the translation council that produced the First Nations Version. Terry M. Wildman\, who envisioned the translation\, will be joined by Amy Allan and Kimberlee Medicine Horn Jackson. Register to learn about this translation\, especially as it relates to caring for God’s creation. \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:Narrative Budgets: Telling your Story by the Numbers
DESCRIPTION:A narrative budget translates the line items of a traditional budget into a story of how your congregation makes a difference in the world. It can be a helpful tool for a stewardship campaign or annual meeting. By telling the story of our congregations’ impact\, we can inspire generosity in our donors.

SUMMARY:Nurture the Soul: Navigating Election Do’s & Don’ts for Churches - Be Prophetic\, Not Partisan!
DESCRIPTION:The United Church of Christ’s mission calls us to “welcome all\, love all\, and seek justice for all.” As a denomination committed to such values and justice for all\, we must speak boldly in the public square through public policy advocacy – as well as election engagement – that collectively shapes our common life together. These two activities are part of what we understand as “politics”. In a country where there is significant confusion and misinformation about the constitutional relationship between church and state\, some choose to shy away from politics all together. Yet\, politics can not only be seen as part of our civic duty as citizens\, but also an activity of righteous resistance and discipleship as Christians. Jesus’ ministry and message had significant political implications for his time – as it does for us today! \nHowever\, in our hyper-partisan climate today\, clarifying how we engage in politics is critical. Churches and clergy must abide by IRS guidelines to protect 501c3 (tax-exempt) status. It is critical that we are well informed about what we CAN (and can’t!) do as churches in the political sphere and particularly around the 2024 election. \nJoin a discussion with Heather Kimmel\, the United Church of Christ’s General Counsel\, and Rev. Michael Neuroth\, Director of the UCC Office of Public Policy & Advocacy\, on the “Do’s & Don’ts” for congregations around the election – “Be Prophetic\, Not Partisan!” \nThis webinar is part of the Nurture the Soul series and the UCC’s Our Faith Our Vote 2024 Campaign – “Vote with Love!”
