Coming Soon:

UCC MPS is excited to be offering multiple resources for Advent this year. We will, as usual, be offering prayers for each Sunday of Advent that can be used in a variety of ways in worship.

Additionally, we will be hosting a Zoom Advent study based on the recent Kairos document and other contributions from Palestinian poets, theologians, and artists. This study will be held on Thursday evenings on December 3, 10 and 17 at 6:30pm EST. Led by Rev. Sara Ofner-Seals and Rev. Loren McGrail, the study will ask participants to consider how we, as people of faith, are called to respond to the plight of Palestinians in the land where Jesus was born. There is no cost to participate, however registration is required (see link below to register).

Finally, due to a generous gift from the First Congregational Church in Lowell, MA, UCC MPS is excited to be able to announce a matching gift campaign for Advent this year. We have curated a list of organiztions doing important work in the West Bank and Gaza, and will match every gift up to $500 during the season of Advent. See the link below for more details.

More information on all of these opportunities will be forthcoming in the November newsletter, but for now, we hope you will plan to engage with Palestine in some way this coming Advent season. It's so important to remember our Palestinian siblings as we sing, pray, and talk about the miracle of the incarnation-- in Palestine 2000 years ago, and throughout the world today.
