Songs of Hope and Love
Sundays July 5 – July 26, 2026
For millennia, our human experience has been shared through stories, songs, and artistic expressions that transcend our present reality and fire our imagination. They ground us in the security of our shared traditions and open us to the possibility of what might be—new ways of thinking, dreaming, and being. Sacred texts are rich with such content in written form, and in this series, we will specifically explore four different songs in the Hebrew Scriptures. We’ll marvel at their beauty, let them draw us into the divine heart of love, and allow hope to expand our consciousness so that together we can sing a new song!
Sunday Morning Book Study: Sundays at 8:45 a.m., in room 203
This group will meet most Sundays, currently discussing The Great Divorce and The Abolition of Man, both by C.S. Lewis. These classic books (published in 1945 and 1943 respectively), are still remarkably relevant today, raising questions about what it means to be human. For questions, or to confirm a specific Sunday, please contact Dave Martinsen davidmartinsen@yahoo.com. Everybody welcome!
The Criminal Justice Reform Team invites you to participate in a summer “book” club exploring The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story. This anthology of essays and poetry reframes American history by placing slavery and its enduring legacy at the center of the American story, inviting readers to consider how that history continues to shape American society today. While this work is not directly tied to issues of criminal justice, the CJRT picked this as a fantastic resource for learning and discussion.
There are multiple ways to engage with the material. You can read the book, listen to the audiobook or podcast (available on all major podcast platforms), or watch the related Hulu series. You are welcome to engage with any of these formats, to whatever extent you desire. Work through the material at your own pace during the summer and join us for a discussion and fellowship gathering planned for late August (details forthcoming).
