When the Israelite people were in the wilderness, Moses invited everyone whose "hearts were stirred and spirits were willing" to offer their gifts, time, and talents so the people could gather, worship God and serve the community. They discovered they had everything they needed and then some! Is your heart being stirred to support our UCH ministries in the Hayward area? Click here to make a difference!

Easter is a season, and we're still processing and honoring Jesus's resurrection. Here's a quote from Rev. Jeanne Loveless's 2022 Easter sermon that speaks to us TODAY (and tomorrow, and the day after that...): "Our God is not so petty and we are not so evil that redemptive violence and bloodshed are required to save us. That, Beloved Community, is not why we are here. Instead on this Easter Day we celebrate. Because we serve a God of love, justice, and resurrection -- a God who calls us to unbind ourselves from our collective grave clothes, to climb out of our white-washed tombs, and to run passionately like Mary did into our calling to be loving, justice-seeking, paradigm-shifting resurrection people. It is this God we love and who loves us on this holy day. And it is this God who is calling us to rise.” Photo by Jeanne Loveless: Cave ladder from the bottom at Lava Beds National Monument.

Did you know that -- in addition to Sunday worship, an online Transitions Group, and our Scripture Seekers Bible Study -- United Church of Hayward hosts a monthly Healing Circle? Led by a Reiki master, this unique circle uses 'conscious breathing' to calm the mind and connect participants with the Divine within. These gatherings focus on channeling Divine healing energy towards those in need, emphasizing the flow of God’s Love through each participant. Plan to join us on the last Monday of each month, or find an on-demand conscious breath exercise on our website. #linkinbio #reiki #godslove #healingenergy #progressivechristianity #unitedchurchofchrist
