April 20: After Jesus, Before Christianity
By Rev. Cathy Harrington
Jesus’ kingdom of God movement was one of justice, peace, and equality. He was Jewish but he challenged the status quo with its barriers of injustice and inequality. It was felt that if not stopped, his social justice movement might spread and cause trouble for the elites of the time. He was a subversive character and a direct threat to the corrupt economic domination system that prevailed in Jerusalem. How did the resurrection become the main event in Christianity?
April 27: Candidating Week
This week we welcome our new Ministerial candidate, Rev. Bethany Russell-Lowe to the pulpit. Through words and music we'll celebrate Earth Day, explore what shared ministry means, and consider how we might keep love at the center in this particular moment of our country's history.
