Worship With Us
Join us for  live stream worship  this Sunday at 9:55am (or watch it later as a recording) on Facebook Live – you don’t need a Facebook account to be able to watch!
It’s the Sunday after Easter—but the Gospel Lesson still has us on Easter night—John 20:19-31. The disciples are all together - except for Thomas. Jesus comes to them in the middle of their fear. Thomas returns from wherever he was and has a hard time believing what the others said they experienced. The sermon is entitled This I Believe.

We had scheduled our Annual Break the Silence Sunday for next week, April 26 th but have decided to reschedule. Instead, we will focus on Earth Day and our responsibilities with her. God has given us the priceless gift of the earth to enjoy and care for now.
We will continue to Break the Silence , but this year it looks a little different. Due to our current reality of worshiping and being community on-line, we have decided to postpone our yearly Break the Silence Sunday until we can worship in person again. However, we understand that these conversations about speaking out against sexual assault and domestic violence are essential. We are advocates of space for people to share their stories, acknowledge grief and trauma, and to experience healing through community and the Divine.
We invite you to join Student Pastor Emma and Pastor Kevin via Zoom on Tuesday, April 21 st  at 1pm and/or Monday, April 27 th at 5pm. We will offer prayer, mediation, sacred conversation and reflections. You are welcome to show up in whatever way is necessary for you. All stages of grief are welcome, all stages of healing are welcome, and all stages of support and authentic love are welcome. Look for the details about the Zoom gatherings in a separate email.
If you need to talk to Emma or Kevin individually, please do not hesitate to reach out. [email protected] ; [email protected]

Does your PUCC group want to try to meet with ZOOM? Please let us know and we can help you set it up!

Inspiration
For so many years I lived in constant terror of myself. Doubt had married my fear and moved into my mind, where it built castles and ruled kingdoms and reigned over me, bowing my will to its whispers until I was little more than an acquiescing peon, too terrified to disobey, too terrified to disagree. I had been shackled, a prisoner in my own mind… But finally, finally, I have learned to break free. ~Tahereh Mafi 

Humor
A certain farmer was locally famous for the fine crops he raised of potatoes and onions, especially in very dry seasons. 
Asked how he did it, he replied that it was really very easy: He simply planted the two crops in alternate rows. 

Then, he said, the onions caused the potatoes’ eyes to water, and the consequent moisture kept both crops plentifully irrigated.
New research yields promising results...
