SUMMARY:A Call to Courage Prayer Vigil
DESCRIPTION:This past year–and these past few weeks–has been particularly trying\, with our country and our state reeling from the impact of several lethal pandemics at once. Lately\, the emotional swing from the hopeful news\nof verdict in the trial of the murder of George Floyd to the devastating news of the killings of Ma’ Khia Bryant and Andrew Brown\, Jr\, has been nearly unbearable. Sadly\, these murders are representative of the violent racial injustices that plague our nation. Too often we must ask\, “How long will it be until justice rolls down like a mighty stream?” \nTo support you as you seek answers to that question while providing spiritual guidance and pastoral care for your congregations and communities\, the North Carolina Council of Churches invites you to a Midday Prayer Vigil for Courage during the National Day of Prayer on Thursday\, May 6. \nClick here to register.\nThe vigil will include prayers for you and the communities you serve\, special music and an inspirational message. \nAs Bishop Michael Curry said during an evening prayer service after verdict in Minneapolis\, the struggle must go on\, “until no human child of God is treated as anything less.” May this midday prayer service grant you courage for that struggle.

SUMMARY:Theirs is the Kingdom Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:At the intersection of faith and art\, a new documentary called “Theirs Is The Kingdom” follows the rare creation of a fresco mural painted inside the sanctuary of the Haywood Street Congregation in Asheville\, NC. This is a painting not of the rich and powerful\, but of people battling homelessness\, addiction\, and mental illness. From first sketch to final unveiling\, the viewer witnesses the difficulties of this ancient artistic technique while also meeting an ensemble cast of rich\, complex characters. \nYou can watch an exclusive 12-minute “sneak peek” clip here\, use the password “fresco.” \nClick here to register. \nThe film will be available to watch from Thursday\, May 14 – Tuesday\, May 18.

SUMMARY:Sacred Conversations: Caretakers of Creation: A Vision for Shalom in Practical Ways
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be caretakers of creation when we ourselves are a part of creation\, and where do we start when we know that the environments in which we live greatly impact the health of our communities? How do we know what is most important in our advocacy efforts? How do we confront the structural injustices that disproportionately affect historically marginalized communities? Join us as we explore practical ways to engage with our environment as good caretakers in ways that increase our awareness of what we can do and how we can advocate as people of faith both individually and collectively. \nThis Sacred Conversations is an extension of the newly updated Partners in Health and Wholeness Sustainability Pledge as we seek to highlight the intersection of health\, faith and the environment. \n  \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER
