IN-PERSON & LIVE-STREAM WORSHIP
Sun Jun 26, 10:00am ~ “Everybody’s Black – In the Spirit of Sankofa”
~ Rev. Lane Cobb
Sankofa is an African concept meaning we should retrieve things of value from our knowledge of the past. The power of Sankofa centers around this: to know history and your heritage is to know your current self, the world around you, and how to better both. Juneteenth is an opportunity for us to learn from our mistakes even as we celebrate how far we have come. Acknowledging a shared history with those who do not look or live like "us" can be both confronting and comforting, yet we are all of a single origin. As we strive to create a world that works for everyone, we do well to call upon the wisdom of the ancestors and the power of Sankofa.
The morning's guest musicians are Kazi Oliver drummers.
All-Congregation worship. Childcare is available. Quiet activity boxes, coloring sheets, and crayons are available for use during worship.

IN-PERSON & LIVE-STREAM WORSHIP
Sun Jul 3, 10:00am ~ “What Matters and What Counts”
~ Jim Walkup
Covid, the Ukraine war, and the malaise resulting from the climate crisis and our political situation has drained the energy of many of us. The New York Times reported that a Gallup poll from December confirms the current crisis: “Americans’ ‘excellent’ mental health rating remains at a 21-ear low amid the Covid-19 pandemic.” I will point to some ways that people have come to discern their values. I will suggest steps to find the “get up and go” to fulfill those values.

Scam Emails
You may have received a fake email from “Rev. Meredith Garmon,” perhaps with your name as the subject line, asking for help with a "discreet request." Our ministers will never email or text you asking for money or gift cards. So always look closely at the sender’s actual email address, and do not reply to anything suspicious. Contact the office (admin@cucwp.org) if you are ever in doubt. Click here to learn more about this common scam.
