Forum @ 10:15 a.m., on Sunday, February 27, 2022: An Update on Roe v. Wade
On Sunday, February 27, Tricia Gray from Access Reproductive Justice and Juliana Serrano from Planned Parenthood joined us in the Forum to look at the legal situation pertaining to Roe v. Wade and the likelihood of it being overturned this year. We explored what Planned Parenthood of Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley and Access Reproductive Justice are doing to prepare for this, and practical ways that we can prepare to help the huge influx of people who will be coming into the state seeking abortion care.
Sermon @ 11:30 a.m., on Sunday, February 27, 2022: Who Are You?
“This gift of the epiphany that there is a disjuncture between our outward and inward selves that doesn’t have to be this way, and the witness of the courage it takes not only to name but claim our truest identity, to love that truest identity, fully to live into that truest identity is part of the deep gift those among us who are transgender have for the rest of this body. Why those among us who are transgender are indispensable to the body of Christ, with a life and witness indispensable to each and all of our liberation.
Those among us who are trans are uniquely equipped to be the gathered community’s Sherpas on this courageous journey of rejecting all that the world tells us we are and claiming all that God knows that we are. The courageous journey of confounding expectations and shedding shackles that comes from singing the answer to the question
Who. Are. You?”
Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, February 27, 2022 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: Exodus 34:29-35 and Luke 9:28-43. Read the text of the sermon here.
Special Service @ 5:00 p.m., on Sunday, February 27, 2022: Lamentations of Black Souls
On Sunday, February 27, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. on the Chancel, we continued to turn our hearts and minds to the vast contributions of African-Americans in the United States. The collective stories of human bondage, heartbreak, and despair are reflected in every note of the songs and letters preserved through generations. It is in these anguished cries to heaven, that we gain a visceral insight into the souls of a strong, proud race; bowed, yet unbroken. Weicheng Zhao and Michal Dawson Connor lead a musical meditation of Slave Songs and Letters with Grace Chung, Xin Xin Martin, and Elizabeth Tatum. Reach back into time and experience the life-stories and music of truly remarkable people.
