Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is not something we simply celebrate—it is something we must actively protect.

This year, we invite you to reflect on the legacy of Juneteenth and the responsibility we share in building a more just and equitable future.

On Saturday, the New Wineskins committee hosted our two 2026 Grant Recipients, First Baptist Church in Waukesha, and The Crossing Campus Ministry at the University of Wisconsin Madison, for a lunch and mid-point report for the 2026 grant cycle.

First Baptist Waukesha shared how their third year of the CONNECT youth group has grown to include youth from different backgrounds and c***ecting their experiences to the biblical story. Youth have shared their experiences of living in refugee camps as well as being immigrants in the US along with Euro-American youth sharing their stories and seeing themselves in the Exodus narrative. Together, they are growing in faith and understanding and expanding in the community.

The Crossing hosted an interfaith bioethics conference that included religious background in understanding medical care choices. The conference was well attended and participation at The Crossing has increased by Christians as well as people from other faith backgrounds as they engage in this kind of interfaith dialogue.

Both grant recipients will share reports at our Annual Gathering in October.

May we remember those who have served and given their lives in service to this country.
We pray for the day when "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore" (Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3).

This Memorial Day, we remember those who served this nation with courage, sacrifice, and devotion. We honor those who gave their lives in defense of freedom and whose legacies live on in the families, friends, and communities they loved.

In a world still marked by war, violence, displacement, and division, we pause to grieve not only the losses of the past but also the suffering unfolding across communities and nations today.

As people of faith and conscience, we are called to reject indifference, pray for peace, stand for justice, and work toward a world where human dignity is protected and every life is valued. May remembrance move us beyond celebration into reflection, compassion, and action.
