SUMMARY:Justice: Systemic Racism in the Form of Cash Bail
DESCRIPTION:Cash bail is assigned by a judge or magistrate after a person is arrested for an alleged crime. It is designed to ensure that a person will show up for their court hearing\, as persons who cannot pay bail are held in jail until their hearing. How does cash bail further systemic racism in our criminal justice system? What role does cash bail play in Allegheny County? In what ways can we interrupt this system? How can we eliminate cash bail without replacing it with another form of systemic racism? What is our response as Christians? We will examine information from the ACLU\, Bukit Bail Fund\, community efforts\, and cities that have eliminated cash bail. \nParticipate at Zoom.us/join or call 929.205.6099\, and enter Meeting ID 827 8715 9714 when prompted.

SUMMARY:Environmental Book Club: Braiding Sweetgrass
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental Team of the Justice Committee invites you to read Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer (2013\, 390 pages)\, and then join us on Thursday\, October 29\, 7 pm\, for a discussion on Zoom. \nThe subtitle of the book is “Indigenous Wisdom\, Scientific Knowledge\, and the Teachings of Plants.” As a botanist and professor of Environmental Biology\, Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation\, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. She brings these lenses of knowledge together to show that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. \nThe book is a New York Times best seller\, and people are finding this work to be grounding\, calming\, and quietly revolutionary. \nPlease contact Nancy Heastings for Zoom information or for questions.

SUMMARY:Virtual Advent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The Spiritual Life Committee invites you to a virtual retreat for Advent\, themed Wait Upon the Lord. \nThe retreat will take place Friday–Saturday\, November 20–21. The cost is $25. All supplies will be sent to you in advance. \nPlease RSVP by Friday\, November 6\, with Norma Meyer. Contact the Rev. BJ Woodworth with questions. \n\nWhy Retreat? Amidst all that is happening and will be happening in mid-November\, why would one go on a 24-hour retreat. Let me offer one metaphor from Ruth Haley Barton’s book\, Invitation to Retreat: \n“Going on retreat is like a boat entering into the lock in order to rise to new heights. When I don’t enter into the locks at regular intervals my life will just keep sinking to the level of the culture around me and to the level of my own unexamined inner world. However\, when I entered the lock\, that is retreat\, when I allow the doors to close behind me and wait quietly for my soul to be lifted by the presence of God\, I find that almost imperceptibly I am buoyed to new levels. When I emerge\, I may not be able to say exactly what happened\, but I know that I have been lifted to new heights and my sails are straight and ready to catch the wind of the Spirit as it fills my sails.” \nPerhaps what we all need after nine months of a pandemic\, continued racial injustice\, and increasing political division and unrest is to take 24 hours to pull into the locks\, rest\, be still\, attend to our breath\, grieve\, lament\, light a candle\, and find our strength in quietness and trust for the continued journey. \nSecondly\, a retreat at this time helps us prepare for Advent\, a season in which we remind ourselves and get in touch with our longings and desires for the coming of God’s kingdom in fullness. It is a season about imagining and seeing what God’s dream is for us and the world. What are you longing\, waiting\, and hoping for this Advent? A retreat creates space to ponder and prepare our lives for the new thing God may want to birth in and through you.

SUMMARY:Christmas Pageant: Can You Hear What I Hear?
DESCRIPTION:While we can’t gather in the Sanctuary together\, we will still be sharing the story of the Jesus’ birth through our annual Christmas Pageant on Sunday\, December 13\, 10 am. \nOur pageant is titled Can You Hear What I Hear? Middle-Schoolers will serve as narrators. Kids from infancy-grade 5 will dress in costumes and act out the story for us—some through pre-recorded vignettes and others live on Zoom. \nThis year\, you are invited to help us tell the story of Jesus’ birth! Persons of all ages are invited to collect any of these items and participate in the pageant when prompted: bell; flashlight; bathrobe (to be a Shepherd); halo\, wings\, or white/sparkling shirt (to be an Angel); wooden blocks/spoons or soup cans (to make the sound of donkey hooves); and a sign that expresses “JOY!” (maybe it reads “Christ is born!” or “Glory to God!” or “God is with us!” or “Rejoice!”). \nContact Megan Leisher to receive the Zoom links. And please contact Sara Hackett if you would like to participate\, so that we can include everyone!
