As has been our tradition on Easter Sunday here at Campbell UCC, we invite everyone to bring flowers and greenery to add to a special cross that will be placed on the altar. Please plan to come a little early with your flowers, so they can be placed before the service starts.

Earth Justice Sunday, April 28
Earth Day falls this year on Monday, April 22nd, so we will celebrate an Earth Justice Sunday on April 28th. While we will touch on the ways our beloved planet is suffering, we will also lift up the many ways people around the world are supporting the earth's healing too. Our overarching theme will be water, and we are planning to bring some playful elements to our worship as well. This will be a shortened service to accommodate our meeting with Dr. Villanueva after worship.

Social Justice Small Group
Our next Social Justice Small Group meeting will be on Sunday, May 19th, from 7 to 8:30 pm, in the Fireside Room. During our April meeting the group chose two areas of focus to explore further: 1) Transgender and LGBTQIA human rights; and 2) expanding services to our houseless and food insecure Food Pantry patrons. At our next meeting we will discuss possible educational events to help us better understand and support our Transgender community. Feel free to bring a dessert to share during our meeting. All are welcome.

LENT
Note from Pastor Naomi:
As Easter approaches, I share with you one of my favorite poems encouraging us to "practice resurrection," live fully and with joy by the Kentucky Poet, Wendell Berry. Wishing you all a peaceful and growth-ful Easter! Enjoy!
Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
By Wendell Berry
Expect the end of the world. Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful
though you have considered all the facts.
So long as women do not go cheap
for power, please women more than men.
Ask yourself: Will this satisfy
a woman satisfied to bear a child?
Will this disturb the sleep
of a woman near to giving birth?
Go with your love to the fields.
Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head
in her lap. Swear allegiance
to what is nighest your thoughts.
As soon as the generals and the politicos
can predict the motions of your mind,
lose it. Leave it as a sign
to mark the false trail, the way
you didn't go. Be like the fox
who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction.
Practice resurrection.
