Handmade Future Documentary Screening
Sunday, June 28 | 11:30 AM
Fellowship Hall

HANDMADE FUTURE follows artisans in six countries preserving heritage, navigating the complex role of middlemen, and advancing responsible trade--pushing back against fast, cheap production to quietly restore a frayed world through beauty and human connection.

From director, Kirsten Dickerson: "Ultimately, this film asks a simple question: can we reclaim a handmade future? I hope that viewers leave the theater not just informed, but inspired to reconsider the value of the things they hold in their hands."

This event is free to attend, but please register here so we have a rough headcount: https://buff.ly/Zxt08lq

“A National Day of Remembrance Reflection”

Of my prize possessions is a tintype taken in 1870 of five brothers from Belmont County, OH: Dave, Will, Jake, Alex and John. John was my great, great grandfather, the grandfather of my paternal grandmother, Elizabeth (Lizzy) Long Wilson.

Nobody is smiling in the picture. In the backrow, Dave’s empty sleeve hides a missing arm he lost in the Civil War. The sixth of the brothers is absent, having died along with 13,000 others in a confederate prison camp in Andersonville, GA. He died of starvation.

I’ve often thought of my grandmother sending both her sons, my dad and my uncle, to the Pacific Theater in WWII. They both returned. One of the few times I saw my dad cry were tears of joy and relief when my draft lottery number was 307 during the Viet Nam conflict.

One of our sons has come home multiple times now from armed conflict. We thank God that he has, and pray for those families not as fortunate.

I know the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day and remember both solemnly in our home. I understand war as failure to live into God’s desire of all creation as the peaceable kingdom. I remember that when our Lord Jesus came forth from brutal death at the hands of religion and state power, rather than swearing revenge and fueling cycles of hate and violence, he offered extravagant reconciliation and forgiveness. In the way of Jesus, all scapegoating and sacrifices of human life were to be no more. The spear that pierced his side was not to be used for violence again. War is what happens when we fail to lay it down.

So, yesterday hit hard, especially being a nation at war in multiple places. I grieve that national truth. Pope Leo doesn’t need my agreement, but I did, when he said: “Too many people are suffering in the world today. Too many innocent people are being killed. And I think someone has to stand up and say; ‘There’s a better way.’” (April 13, 2026).

We are called to that better way. May we remember the painful legacy of those who died by the violence of war. May we also remember the way of Jesus, and live faithful lives of courage, compassion and peace. Come, Lord Jesus, come.
