  • September 20, 2020 - Building Connection, Strengthening Hope - Julica Hermann de la Fuente

    From Julica Hermann de la Fuente:

    Dear First U, This first month and a half of my time with you has been a lovely time of connecting and deepening trust. Thank you for welcoming me so warmly, for trusting me to go deep quickly, for your willingness and desire to engage in anti-racism work in the many areas of our congregation. Please join me this coming Sunday morning for a couple of stories about imagination and hope that I hope will nourish you in these difficult times, and also give you a window into what moves me and sustains me in my work. Bonus for the crafters among us: the story of how I constructed the tree in my office!

  • September 13, 2020- Water Communion- Revs. Justin Schroeder and Jen Crow

    As we gathered for this virtual Water Communion Sunday, we remembered that we are held in a larger community of care, a community that isn’t afraid of the complexity of this time, or the many swirling currents of this time, or the waves of feeling and emotion that crash into us on a daily basis. In the midst of all of this, we symbolically linked arms, held hands, and breathed together, riding the waves of our life, finding our way. 

    Words of Welcome- Rev. Jen Crow (:21)

    Wisdom Story- Lauren Wyeth (2:41)

    Sermon- Rev. Justin Schroeder and Rev. Jen Crow (8:18)

  • August 16, 2020- Radical Imagination - Bryana French and Rev. Justin Schroeder
    As author and activist adrienne marie brown writes, “We are in an imagination battle.” It’s true; imagination creates racial hierarchies, creates borders, creates supremacy thinking, creates oppression. As adrienne marie brown says, “I often feel I am trapped inside someone’ else’s imagination, and I must engage my own imagination in order to break free.”
     
    Whose imaginations are we trapped in? Who are we trapping by our imaginations? And what does it look like to break free? Though story, spoken word, music and message, we explore what radical imagination might unlock in the world around us.
