As the 2025 Advent season nears, new United Church of Christ resources invite people to engage with past prophets, abolitionists, and wisdom in order to make a way forward – carrying hope and expectation through difficult times.
Linked here, find worship resources and devotional offerings from Sermon Seeds and Worship Ways, Racial Justice Ministries, Pilgrim Press, the Pension Boards’ Christmas Fund, Bread for the World, and UCC Movement for Palestinian Solidarity.
Trans Day of Remembrance embodies our belief in the power of memory in the naming of Trans beloveds we have lost to violence. In a world moment, where division continues to be highlighted, the Church can offer a place of celebration and honoring of God's uniqueness and gifts within humanity. Register today to share space in remembering our trans siblings and celebrating the divine within them.
Holly Herman reads your church newsletters and other materials and compiles the highlights to keep us up-to-date on the amazing work happening at the Southwest Conference churches and beyond. (Thanks, Holly!)
