Announcements
This Sunday at UCCSV - 5/5/24
Over the past few weeks, we’ve focused on our physical health and well-being, on the internal self-care work of self-compassion, and on setting up and maintaining boundaries as a way to care for ourselves. However, when the demands of our lives exceed our coping capacities, we usually feel the impact first as an emotional response. How might we process such a response and what is a spiritually and biblically based way to take care of our emotional selves? Join us for worship on Sunday at 10am in person or online on Zoom. And be sure to both congratulate Jack on his graduation from Seminary and say goodbye to him as this is his last Sunday with us as our Ministry Intern.
The bulletin for this service can be found HERE.
New Worship Series: Sacred Self-Care
Join us for worship in April and May as we examine the concept of Sacred Self-Care. Everybody is talking about self-care these days, especially as we try to reorient our lives from the dark days of the pandemic. But is the concept of self-care just about materialistic treats and escapism, or can it be something spiritual? Is it biblical at all? Does it help us follow Jesus? During this season of resurrection, we'll talk about how rebirth and the transformation of our lives can start with taking better care of ourselves, and not just as a way to feel better, but as a way of learning how to live a life focused on justice, wholeness, and peace. This series will use concepts developed in the book, Sacred Self-Care, written by Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes. You may wish to use this book as a daily devotional during this worship series to truly learn and integrate these ideas into your life.
