SUMMARY:Pentecost
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday is Pentecost\, the time when we remember the Holy Spirit coming upon the disciples like tongues of fire and giving birth to the church. It is also confirmation Sunday! What a time to welcome and celebrate these commitments of discipleship among a handful of young people. This winter/spring\, these young people have been wrestling with the questions of “Who am I as God’s beloved?” “How do I belong in this church and in God’s kingdom?” And “What is God’s purpose in my life?” May we all be inspired by their voices and challenged to ask these questions of ourselves and we celebrate the work of the Holy Spirit among us. \nAfter worship and in preparation for next Sunday\, Casey Curran will be in our gathering spaces with his camera. He hopes to capture short videos of you answering the question\, “What piece of wisdom would you share?” These short clips will be used to create a video montage for Graduate Sunday on June 12. \nJoin us in person or online for worship on Sundays at 10am. If you’re joining us in person\, please review our updated mask practice.

SUMMARY:Sunday Morning Class: The Old Testament and Reparations
DESCRIPTION:Reparations involves making amends for a wrong that has been done\, taking action to repair torn or frayed relationships. In a contemporary context\, reparations often refers to taking action to repair the damage done by the legacy of slavery and the ongoing impact of systemic racism. Opinions on reparations run deep; information\, on the other hand\, is frequently shallow. Restoring relationships is a central theme of Jesus’s teaching. As we grow into our anti-racist identity as a congregation and as Christians\, what do we need to learn about restoring relationships and making amends for past wrongs? \nThroughout the summer and fall\, we’ll be taking periodic looks into reparations from a variety of perspectives. This Sunday\, Carol Hodges will lead us in a conversation about reparations from an Old Testament perspective. She will draw on an recent Christian Century article\, “Saving the Egyptians\,” written by Matthew Schlimm\, a member of our church when he was in his early teen years. Matt is now in his mid-forties\, a professor of Old Testament at Dubuque University Theological Seminary in Iowa\, a United Methodist pastor\, and a member of the Michigan Conference. Come join us for a thought-provoking look at reparations and what the Old Testament has to say about them. The class will meet in the Parlor at 11:15am. Participants may also join by Zoom. \nCLICK HERE to join this conversation on Zoom on Sunday\, June 5 after worship.\nMeeting ID: 858 1867 6776   (No passcode needed\, Carol uses the waiting room feature.) \nNote: The series will continue on Sunday\, June 12 as Jennifer Clark looks at the way poets have struggled with reparations.
