🕊️ As a Just Peace denomination, we believe in the sacred call to be peacemakers.

📞 Call your Senators today and urge them to vote YES on SJ Res. 59—a resolution that would prevent unauthorized U.S. military action against Iran.

🙏🏽 We pray for peace grounded in justice.

"Empathy is a gift that allows us to see ourselves in others & connect with the needs of others based on the good we desire for ourselves. While it is possible for empathy to be exploited, the nefarious actions of few to manipulate & abuse the concerns for their needs should not be a deterrent to living the Golden Rule. Caring for others is a value that should not be shamed, nor should there be any shame in being empathetic." -Rev. Karen Georgia Thompson, GMP/CEO, UCC

Blue background with a painted red poppy flower. Text says: Memorial Day, Today we remember those lost. In Flanders Fields By Lt. Col. John McCrae, 1915. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly. Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw. The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die. We shall not sleep, though poppies grow. In Flanders fields.

🙏🏾🌹 This Memorial Day, we hold in prayer those who have been affected by war. We honor the lives lost and grieve with the families of the fallen. May we continue to work toward peace and a #JustWorldForAll.
