Underground Church Worship Service (Monthly)
Saturday, March 15,10:30am in the Sanctuary
Underground Church is a unique and dynamic gathering that combines the intimacy of Jesus' early community with creative and inventive worship experiences. In the warmth and safety of community we explore the scriptures, live out the questions through discussion, and share innovative rituals that bring us closer to each other and to our still-speaking God. Together we create the unity of spirit that helps us find God's presence in the messy and beautiful experience of living today. All are welcome!
Support Palestinian Farmers
Join us as we learn more about how we can support Palestinian farmers from Lana Mustafa, the founder of Roots of Resilience. Lana is a Palestinian-American farmer, beekeeper, and mother of three. She was raised between New Jersey and Mukhmas, a farming village in the West Bank where her family has tended their land for generations.
Her deep connection to the land and nature is central to her work, and she believes in land sovereignty as a path to Palestinian liberation.
Lana founded Roots of Resilience in 2024 to empower and support Palestinian farmers in sustaining their livelihoods and protecting their heritage.
In addition to her work with Roots of Resilience she is also the Executive Director of Montclair Community Farms, where she leads efforts in community engagement, urban farming and education to promote access to affordable healthy food.

Author Jeff Korgen Presents New Graphic Novel.
"Dorothy Day: Radical Devotion" introduces readers to the amazing life of Dorothy Day, reviews her impact on the church and peace and justice movements, and provides an informative understanding of the process of canonization.
"Radical Devotion offers an invaluable compendium for those who want to learn about Dorothy, warts and all, while also learning about what made her so important: her radical devotion.”
Jeffry Odell Korgen is a spiritual writer and comics creator with a 32-year career in pastoral ministry.
He is the author of several books, including Solidarity Will Transform the World: Stories of Hope from Catholic Relief Services, My Lord and My God!: Engaging Catholics in Social Ministry, and Beyond Empowerment: A Pilgrimage with the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, as well as the newly published Dorothy Day: Radical Devotion.

ONGOING EVENTS
Weekly Labyrinth Walks:
Wednesdays 11am-1pm in the Sanctuary
Take your soul for a walk on the labyrinth. We are pleased to offer labyrinth walks each Wednesday as a chance to connect with your soul in our beautiful sanctuary.
The labyrinth is an ancient spiritual tool , a mode of “walking prayer” that invites us to go deeper in our walk with God. Our labyrinth, modeled on one in Chartes Cathedral in France, sits as the center of our Sanctuary, a constant metaphor for our spiritual lives. Just like the labyrinth, our lives are not linear, but filled with twists and turns. Sometimes we make great progress, and other times we feel we are going backwards. But if we trust in the path we will find our selves in the center: the heart of God. All are welcome to take their souls out for a walk... no experience necessary!
You can CLICK HERE to find out more about walking the labyrinth. Check out this lovely write up on our labyrinth on Baristanet in the Spring of 2014.
