Juneteenth Commemoration

Juneteenth marks the official end of the enslavement of African descended people in the U.S. The original legal declaration was signed into law by Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, which instituted The Emancipation Proclamation.

Racial Justice Ministries of the United Church of Christ invite you to engage in prophetic remembering to confront the challenges of our time. Nurturing a movement toward justice for all is a sacred call for liberators and freedom fighters to seek wisdom from Old and New Testament Prophets who stood up against the empires of their day and to gain inspiration from modern prophets who lead the resistance to oppressive tyrannies, ideologies, and theologies. Racial Justice Ministries and wisdom teachers of the United Church of Christ National Ministries invite you to listen and learn how to thrive during national and global threats from authoritarian leaders.

Tending Pilgrim's Gardens

Pilgrim members and friends are invited and encouraged to help maintain our garden beds. Major cleanup work was accomplished on Memorial Day. Thanks to the hearty folks who helped out, just a bit more cleanup remains. The task of maintaining attractive beds is ongoing. Watch GT for announcements of group gardening times. If you'd prefer to garden on your own schedule, assume responsibility for a particular bed, or have questions, please contact Susan Sanders, 216-288-8879 (text/talk) for a specific work assignment. 🌿

Next group gardening time:
Monday, June 1, 9:30 - 11:30 am.
Bring your favorite tools.
