SUMMARY:Global H.O.P.E. Blue Christmas Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, December 5\, 4pm ET for a virtual worship service with Team Global HOPE at UCC National Ministries for a Blue Christmas worship service. \nBlue Christmas services traditionally provide space for those who don’t feel so “merry and bright” during the holiday season. This service seeks to recognize and stand in solidarity with the experiences of those aggrieved or displaced by disaster or forced migration in 2023\, as well as those who are grieving. We remember that we are called to stand in solidarity with the captive and the oppressed\, the grieving and the suffering\, and work together with God’s guidance to create a just world for all. \nUCC Clergy\, members\, and choirs engaged in humanitarian ministries across the denomination will be providing reflective liturgy\, music\, and prayers during this event. This event will be recorded for later availability or use in local Blue Christmas events.

SUMMARY:Against Islamophobia & White Supremacy with Linda Sarsour
DESCRIPTION:The January 6th attack on the United States Capitol showed that white Christian Nationalism is on the rise. 2022 ended with over 200 white nationalist candidates elected at every level of government. With each passing election\, fringe political ideas become more and more mainstream.  Simultaneously\, islamophobia has never lost its public appeal.  The so-called Muslim Ban is just one example of white supremacy becoming policy.  Religious leaders are called to fight back against the rising tide of islamophobia in our community and congregations. \nJoin the conversation with Linda Sarsour\, noted Palestinian-American civil rights leader who will speak on the topic: Islamophobia and White Supremacy. Sarsour was co-chair of the 2017 Women’s March\, the 2017 Day Without a Woman\, and the 2019 Women’s March. She is also a former executive director of the Arab American Association of New York. The event will be livestreamed on the United Church of Christ YouTube channel. \nHosted by the Valley and Mountain Fellowship’s Center for Faith\, Art\, and Justice in partnership with the United Church of Christ’s Join the Movement toward Racial Justice and others\, the series Set Us Free from Fear: Faith\, White Supremacy\, and Politics invites scholars\, clergy\, and activists working at the intersection of race and faith to share their wisdom to our broader communities. \nView Livestream Here
