SUMMARY:Book Discussion | Parable of the Sower
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental Team of the Justice Committee has selected Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler as its next book. You’re invited to read it and join us for a discussion on Thursday\, August 25\, 7 pm\, led Nancy Heastings and Penn Hackney online via Zoom. For more details\, please contact Nancy Heastings. \nPublished in 1993\, this climate sci-fi is set in 2024 California. The story’s lead character is a 15-year-old Black girl whose father is a preacher. Global climate change and economic crises have led to social chaos. Global warming has brought drought and rising seawater. The middle class and working poor live in gated neighborhoods\, where they fend off the homeless with guns and walls. Fresh water is scarce and is as valuable as money. Fires are common. Public schools are being privatized\, as are whole towns. In this atmosphere\, a Presidential candidate named Christopher Donner is elected based on his promises to dismantle government programs and bring back jobs. \nThe book has had a resurgence and second-read reviewers comment\, “But for sheer peculiar prescience\, Butler’s novel and its sequel (Parable of the Talents) may be unmatched.” \nFor some writers\, science fiction serves as means to delve into fantasy. But for Butler\, it largely served as a vehicle to address issues facing humanity. It was this passionate interest in the human experience that imbued her work with a certain depth and complexity. Her books blended elements of science fiction and African American spiritualism.

SUMMARY:Karl Sellner Memorial Benefit 2022
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for what is sure to be a great evening of music\, food\, raffles\, games\, and friendship in remembrance of former Hope Academy student\, Karl Sellner. All proceeds from the event will go to a scholarship at Hope Academy. \nThis fund honors his memory and ensures that his love of music will live on through the beautiful voices\, playing of various instruments\, dance and acting of children for many years to come. \nIf you are unable to make it to the event\, but would like to make a donation to Hope Academy’s Scholarship Fund (select the Karl Sellner Memorial option) or donate an item for the auction\, click the button below. \nClick Here  \n\nABOUT KARL SELLNER \nFrom an early age\, Karl Jacob Sellner was simply captivated by his grandfather John Alden’s music\, foreshadowing his life-long love of the performing arts. This passion was nurtured by his family and by his many experiences as a student of Hope Academy. As a teen and young adult\, Karl became an accomplished guitar player and lyricist. As with his love of music\, Karl found the other things he cared about early in life\, including his wife Shelby\, and his calling to join the US Army to serve\, like his grandfather had during WWII. Like so many gifted musicians before him\, Karl’s light was also shadowed by bi-polar disorder. On\, September 11\, 2016\, Karl’s pain was too much and he ended his life. The support of the Hope Academy community was treasured by his parents and 6 siblings during this time of grief\, and together\, they channeled this sadness into the Karl Jacob Sellner Memorial Fund for Hope Academy. This fund honors his memory and ensures that his love of music will live on through the beautiful voices\, playing of various instruments\, dance and acting of children for many years to come. \nABOUT HOPE ACADEMY OF MUSIC AND THE ARTS \nHope Academy of Music and the Arts\, an outreach program of East Liberty Presbyterian Church\, offers a safe place where young people of diverse racial\, ethnic\, cultural\, socioeconomic\, religious and linguistic backgrounds can further their personal and artistic growth through the study and performance of theater\, dance and music. We strive to create a diverse and inclusive artistic community that provides deep arts instruction through a sequential and progressive program; that supports the personal and artistic growth of students and teaching artists\, alike; and contributes to our community’s positive growth and cultural vibrancy. Over 350 young people and their families participate in Hope Academy’s programs throughout the year.

SUMMARY:Lessons and Practices of Revolutionary Love
DESCRIPTION:What is Revolutionary Love you ask? According to Valarie Kaur\, “revolutionary love is an orientation to the world and to the work of justice that is most successfully practiced in community. It is more than emotion or feeling.

We will connect these to historical contexts and contemporary social issues and concerns. We will engage in personal spiritual practices to challenge power inequalities\, dismantle unjust institutions\, and create a world that honors the humanity of us all. And each week\, will practice communal learning\, personal and silent reflection\, and invitations to action. \nThe outline of her spiritual practice paradigm can be seen in the compass on the right\, with a focus on loving others\, opponents and ourselves.

SUMMARY:Lessons and Practices of Revolutionary Love
DESCRIPTION:What is Revolutionary Love you ask? According to Valarie Kaur\, “revolutionary love is an orientation to the world and to the work of justice that is most successfully practiced in community. It is more than emotion or feeling. It is the ongoing choice to labor for others\, opponents\, and ourselves.” \nThe Spiritual Life Committee invites you to learn more about Revolutionary Love on Thursdays\, September 15–November 17\, 5:30–7 pm. A light meal will be provided. \nDrawing upon Kaur’s book\, See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love\, we will discover together revolutionary love as a praxis for personal\, spiritual\, and political\, transformation. We will examine stories\, theories\, and practices from writers\, scholars\, activists\, and practitioners whose work has informed the framework of revolutionary love. We will connect these to historical contexts and contemporary social issues and concerns. We will engage in personal spiritual practices to challenge power inequalities\, dismantle unjust institutions\, and create a world that honors the humanity of us all. And each week\, will practice communal learning\, personal and silent reflection\, and invitations to action. \nThe outline of her spiritual practice paradigm can be seen in the compass on the right\, with a focus on loving others\, opponents and ourselves. We will explore one of these each week. There are corresponding: \nIt is recommended that you begin reading her book before we start. Limited copies are available. Contact Pastor BJ for more information. \nWatch Valarie Kaur’s TED Talk to get a sense of the arch and aim of our time together.

SUMMARY:Sabbath Retreat
DESCRIPTION:There is a kind of hurry that is a form of violence exercised upon time that is detrimental to our health\, our families\, our communities\, and our relationship with God. Admittedly\, there are times when the demands of relationships\, family\, work\, school\, church\, childcare\, shopping\, health\, appearance\, housework\, meals\, bill payments\, commuting\, accidents\, interruptions\, illness\, and countless other things eat up more time than is seemingly available. Living under pressure is a part of life. Still\, we have to be careful not to rationalize. God didn’t make a mistake in creating time; God made enough of it.  \nWhen we cannot find enough time and—as the psalmist says—find ourselves getting up earlier and going to bed later because we have too much to do\, we can see this as a sign to make some changes in our lives. When we allow ourselves to be driven like this for too long\, we end up doing violence to time\, to ourselves\, and to our blood pressure! What’s the answer?  \nThere is no simple answer\, but there is a divinely given counsel regarding how we can protect ourselves from becoming addicted to pressure and rushing headlong through our lives. It’s more than counsel to lower blood pressure; it’s one of the Ten Commandments: Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day. God gave us the Sabbath. Jesus taught us that we weren’t made for the sabbath but that sabbath was made for us. Sabbath time is our time\, our chance to rest\, to worship God…\, to taste a wee bit of heaven\, and to be more in sympathy with all that is\, not least our own lives. \n—Ronald Rolheiser\, (Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest\, by Ruth Haley Barton\, pages ix-xi) \nIf these words tap into your own experience and desire\, join us for a Sabbath Retreat\, Friday–Sunday\, October 21–23\, at St. Emma’s Retreat House in Greensburg. The retreat will include times of prayer\, rest\, solitude\, silence\, table fellowship\, teaching\, and reflection. The cost is $150 (scholarships are available). RSVP to Pastor BJ by Sunday\, October 16. Spots are limited.

SUMMARY:Building Better Mental Health Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Youth\, parents\, and caregivers are invited to join us after Sanctuary worship for lunch and a program on talking together about mental health. Being a teen and parenting a teen can both be hard\, especially so these last couple of years. We hope this Building Better Mental Health Workshop will help families have important conversations about mental health or feel like they are a little more prepared to have them if the need comes up down the road\, or with a friend.  Parents/caregivers and teens are encouraged to attend together but everyone is welcome to come solo or with their family. Talking honestly about mental health is one way we can be the loving community Jesus calls us to be – hope you can join us! \nThe presentation will be led Carol Dundes\, a counselor at Samaritan Counseling.
