Apostle/Apostate: Living to Die or Dying to Live
What if death and resurrection is more than a one time event that gets us into heaven?
What if this death and resurrection talk is actually a paradigm for our becoming free and whole and made-in-the-image of God selves with nothing hindering us any longer? What if death-and-resurrection is a way of living, something we might actually do many times in the course of a day and in several profound ways throughout the course of our lives?
We need to know what to do with these deep aches inside of us: the unsatisfied longings, the searing regrets, the soul-wrenching questions about who we are to be and what we are to do. Maybe one powerful and enlightening way to understand our purpose here upon this earth is indeed this call to death and this promise that death actually leads us into a new place, a new space, a new way of being.
Peace,
Shea & Katie

The Art of Neighboring
Sun., July 1, 9:45am, Lounge
Love God. Love Yourself. Love Your Neighbor. Come hear Terri Hayes and join in a celebration. In honor of Upper Arlington celebrating 100 years, all 19 UA churches are organizing neighborhood block parties. Think of your house as the center block with eight other blocks/houses around you. That is the block party...just your neighbors. Invest your time in your neighbors for a few hours to say hello over dinner, drinks, ice cream. Host a block party with just your neighbors to be a good neighbor. Step out from being a stranger to being an acquaintance toward sharing a relationship with your neighbors.

“In a maze we lose ourselves, in a labyrinth we find ourselves.”
We are planning to build our own outdoor labyrinth, a maze-like pathway for walking meditation and prayer, on the southeast side of the church building. It would welcome neighbors and church folks alike with protective landscaping and benches: a quiet little haven of prayer available to everyone. Learn more about how you can purchase a personalized, etched paving brick and pay with PayPal on our
web site. See samples in the church hall. Order forms are also on the welcome table in the hall. Help make this a gift to our community.
