Weekly Update 

The Safety Team is examining the guidelines and guidance for re-opening in a safe and careful manner.  

We have some advantages in our courtyard and spacious sanctuary, but we will continue to offer online resources to give people options.

Join us Monday June 8th, two weeks after George Floyd’s death, for a Day of Fasting and Focus which will culminate at 5:00 pm when we are asking people to stop where you are for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in silence in honor of the time George Floyd had the literal knee of the state on his neck.

Sunday, June 14    " The Sweet June Days" - Rev. Kathryn Hawbaker

Where is the balm from Gilead?  What sweetness and light can we find in the longer days of summer?  

What steps are you taking to follow the adage - Live simply, so that others can simply live?  This pandemic 

has opened our eyes to the widening gaps of inequality that diminish our collective consciousness.

- Poor People's National Call for Moral Revival: June 20, 2020        Moral March on Washington 

Whether in your homes, at work or in the streets, we are calling for people of conscience to stop wherever they are to join us for a live-streamed moment of silence, litany and a message of support for the uprisings across the country and a call for organizing a movement in this moment from Bishop William J. Barber, II, co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. Tune in at fb.com/anewppc.

As part of this National Day of Fasting and Focus we will be holding a We Won’t Be Silent Virtual Art Build 

at 12 pm EST/ 9am PST to be together and heal together through art-making, share messages of justice and get prepared for the day of action. 
George Floyd died from the knee on his neck, we still do not have justice for Breonna Taylor or the thousands and millions of others who have been killed from systemic racism, police violence, mass incarceration, health inequity and poverty. This is the time to make economic and structural demands on our government to end the multiple pandemics of systemic racism and poverty, and to end the militarized force that is used against people who just want to breathe.  Forward together, not one step back!      Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis
