As people of faith, calling for peace and an end to the war remains urgent. Weaponizing food by starving individuals and killing individuals as they try to get food is a crime and violation of human rights. This demands the attention of the world, communities of faith, and the support of the actions of the International Criminal Court as we seek a #JustWorldForAll
"Weaponizing food by starving & killing individuals as they try to get food is a crime & violation of human rights. It demands the attention of the world, communities of faith, & support of the ICC as we seek a #JustWorldForAll"

Not most, but we certainly have members from the full political spectrum. While individual UCC churches operate independently, as part of our polity, the denomination is Jesus and social justice focused. Part of our mission is to work toward a #JustWorldForAll. ❤️

This Memorial Day, we hold in prayer those who have been affected by war. We honor the lives lost and grieve with the families of the fallen. May we continue to work toward peace and a #JustWorldForAll
Blue background with a painted red poppy flower. Text says: Memorial Day, Today we remember those lost. In Flanders Fields By Lt. Col. John McCrae, 1915. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly. Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw. The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die. We shall not sleep, though poppies grow. In Flanders fields.
🙏🏾🌹 This Memorial Day, we hold in prayer those who have been affected by war. We honor the lives lost and grieve with the families of the fallen. May we continue to work toward peace and a #JustWorldForAll.
Cardinal Robert Prevost, now #PopeLeoXIV, is alleged to be complicit in the mishandling & cover-up of RC #ClergySexAbuse.
Pursuing a #JustWorldForALL includes pursuing #JusticeForALL victims of #ClergyAbuse who are vulnerable & marginalized among ALL religions, inc. the #UCC & #UUA.
No?

🙏🏾 The UCC joins with the ecumenical community & Roman Catholic siblings in celebrating the selection of Cardinal Robert Prevost, Pope Leo XIV.
We affirm the strength of our relationship, pledge our continued partnership & look forward to ongoing dialogue & collaboration, pursuing a #JustWorldForAll
👏🏾👏🏾 We must not grow weary in the presence of tyranny, nor should we lose our voices & claim silence in the presence of fear & anxiety. The tears we shed & justice we seek should be the courage we need to seek a #JustWorldForAll.

Black background with white text that reads: They say nobody is coming to save you, but many people have saved me, even if they didn't intend to. It can be as small as a smile from a stranger, a nudge from an animal, words from a writer, the lyrics to a song, an observant friend. We are all saving each other every single day in tiny seemingly insignificant ways. By: Iris Rose Poetry.
❣️ Sometimes, it's the smallest actions that make the biggest impacts.
❣️ Have you been touched (saved?) by a small gesture/action from someone?

“My body, my choice” means all bodies, trans bodies included. What keeps our oppressors up at night, I think, is the fear that our collective advocacy will get us to this truth. To be free, to live in a just world means all bodies have the right to choose HOW.
Yesterday’s Supreme Court hearing on whether trans youth have the right to gender affirming care is about this truth; this choice to live justly and freely in our bodies. The ruling of this case will impact trans youth, adults, LGBTQ+ individuals & more. It has the potential to tip the scales on reproductive justice, healthcare in general and access to needing funding for Medicaid for all. This ruling isn’t just about queer folks – it’s about ALL folks.
While fear provokes clenched fists toward regulation of bodies, especially intentionally targeted trans bodies, LOVE still has the power to provoke not only our need for response, but the care of those being regulated. Our lives; our world - God’s vision for our well-being depends on us choosing love.
NOW is the time to educate, bring awareness to these issues and the real people they impact. Because WE are the ones who will support, care for, advocate and journey our way through this unjust moment toward justice.
👉🏾 One way to bring awareness to these issues is to engage with the offerings of UCC's Gender & Sexuality Justice Ministries. Download the Toolkits, watch the videos, and open discussions at your church: www.ucc.org/loveislouder/

Image of greens and pinecones surrounding a quote by Rachel Held Evans: The whole story of Advent is the story of how God can't be kept out. God is present. God is with us. God shows up-not with a parade but with the whimper of a baby, not among the powerful but among the marginalized, not to the demanding but to the humble.
God is present. 🫶🏾
