Whole Self In: Beloved Community in Practice

Sunday Worship at First U September 2024: Shared Ministry

Join us this Sunday as we return to two services: 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
View the Digital Order of Service here. (Updated each week before worship.)

We come together from one body, each of us bringing what we can to create the Beloved Community—a place free of hate, poverty, and oppression, where all can thrive. As we push back against fascism, we practice love in action, standing strong in shared ministry. It’s not enough to put a hand or a foot in—we’re called to put our whole selves into this work, because building a world where everyone belongs demands nothing less. Together, we lean into our shared power, holding fast to what’s good and just. In the end, that’s what it’s all about: reshaping how we show up for each other, creating spaces where justice quietly but relentlessly weaves us together, making the Beloved Community not just possible, but inevitable.
