Transitions Group

On the first Thursday of each month our Transitions group gathers on Zoom from 10:30-12:00. We provide a safe place- a circle of love, support, and wisdom for everyone who is in transition. Some of us are in places of not knowing about health and family issues, some are on cancer journeys, some have lost jobs, are having financial struggles, are grieving the loss of loved ones, or just trying to find the ground after the trauma of the pandemic. We have a covenant of confidentiality with one another and use poetry (Currently Jan Richardson's book "Blessings in times of Grief") as a container and talk about how the Divine is present and moving in our lives. And we do it  in a very ecumenical openhearted way- so no matter what your spiritual background (or not) you are welcome to join us. Rev. Jeanne leads this group and offers gentle group care and guidance for our conversations. Please contact us via the form on the contact page of the website if you are interested in attending or have questions.  We are grateful to have this ministry opportunity to offer the big-hearted journey support that is one of our core strengths at UCH.  

P.S. This is safe, welcoming space for lgbtqia+ folkx.

Sunday Worship

Maya Angelou writes in "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings," that“ to really love someone is to know the song their heart sings and to hum it back to them on the days they forget how it goes. It is a fitting entry to our conversation about our fourth Survey Response which is about "being in relationship. loving our neighbors, and learning from each other." 

You have probably heard I Corinthians 13: 1-13 It is sometimes called "the love chapter" at a wedding or three. But at the core it's about something much bigger than romantic love. Join us in the next piece of our "What Makes Your Hearts Sing" series as we prepare our hearts for sabbatical. I look forward to being with you for Where the Face of Love Mirrors (esoptron: ἔσοπτρον) Our Gaze: A Heart Singing Conversation about Love (agapé: ἀγάπη) , Mirroring, Relationship, Why This Is Not Just a Wedding Reading, and Singing Each Other Home. 


Join us on Zoom, or by phone (audio only): (669) 900-6833. or join us here for the sermon live stream.

Scripture Seekers Bible Study (via Zoom)

Scripture Seekers Bible Study (via Zoom)

There are many in our nation who are really distorting the Christian scriptures, and teachings of Jesus beyond recognition right now. The stakes are very high. And as we navigate that, I think it important that we remain committed to rooting ourselves in the scriptures, and exploring what Jesus really said and taught during these challenging times.

I look forward to accompanying you on this journey. If you have any questions. Please let me know.  See you'all @5:30 

- With Infinite Love and Gratitude, Rev. Jeanne.

 Join us on Zoom, or by phone (audio only): (669) 900-6833.

We are a theologically progressive, open and affirming congregation. Our Bible Study reflects that. Your theological reflections are welcome. Your harm is not.

Maundy Thursday Service
Apr

7:00 PM19:00

Maundy Thursday Service

As Jan Richardson prepares the beloved community to come to the communion table, she writes, "(God) To your table we come. Hungering for your bread, we come; thirsting for your wine, we come; singing your song in every language, speaking your name in every tongue, in conflict and in communion, in discord and in desire, we come, O God of Wisdom, we come."  


If I say "we are coming to the table" in worship, most of you will know I am talking about sharing Holy Communion. But have you ever considered the importance of tables in our liturgy and in our lives? As we explore this familiar story in Luke 22, I think you will come to agree with me that without the table, this pivotal event in the ministry of Jesus would not be happening. Join us this Holy Week Thursday evening, April 2 @7:00 PM Pacific as we talk about tables - communion tables, kitchen tables, picnic tables, underrated tables, seating assignments, hospitality, and the holy (and sometimes not so holy) complexities of gathering at tables. I look forward to being with you for  In “Conflict and In Communion We Come”: A Place at the Table (trapeza:: τράπεζα). 

 

Join us on Zoom, or by phone (audio only): (669) 900-6833. or join us here for the sermon live stream.
