Java & Jesus
Sunday, June 11th, at 9 am
Attend in-person at the church in the
Alfred Swan Room, or attend remotely
by Zoom
All are welcome!
Please join us even if this is your first time!
Our summer J&J programming will focus on the Phoenix Affirmations, which the pastors will be preaching about this summer. The reading(s) will be kept light most weeks.
This Sunday we will discuss Phoenix Affirmation #2: “Christian love of God includes listening for God’s Word which comes through daily prayer and meditation, through studying the ancient testimonies which we call Scripture, and through attending to God’s present activity in the world.” We will consider our views of scripture and prayer. Our starting point will be one page from the discussion guide. Optionally, you may wish to read Chapter 2 of Eric Elnes The Phoenix Affirmations, which is available as an inexpensive paperback or ebook, but you will be able to participate fully in the discussion without this reading.
List of Phoenix Affirmations by content:
- Walk fully with Jesus, don’t deny other faiths
- Prayer, meditation, scripture
- Celebrate creation
- Worship includes art
- Engage people authentically across diversity
- Stand with poor and oppressed
- Separate church and state
- Walk humbly with God, seek to understand enemies
- We and all people are loved
- Sacredness of minds and hearts, doubt and belief
- Care for bodies, time for rest, reflection, recreation
- Meaning and purpose, discernment of calling

June COMPASSION OFFERING-Lussier Community Education Center LCEC
Lussier Community Education Center (LCEC), celebrates over 50 years of quality programming and community organizing through the strength of community partnerships, the commitment of volunteers, and the kindness of neighbors. Its roots go back to the mid-70s, when the Wexford Ridge Community Association organized community services. In the 1990s, these services operated out of apartments in the Wexford Ridge complex off of Gammon Road. In the early 2000’s the establishment of a partnership agreement and lease with the Madison Metropolitan School District along with capital funding support from the City of Madison paved the way to the construction of the Lussier Community Education Center. In October 2007, LCEC opened its doors at 55 South Gammon Road, on school-owned land adjacent to Jefferson Middle School and Vel Phillips Memorial High School.
LCEC has always been a place for people from different walks of life to come together, share gifts, and build community. LCEC offers comprehensive programs for children and youth of all ages. From ‘play & learn’ sessions for kids under three, to after-school programming through high school, and even free eight-week summer camps loaded with enriching activities to keep this community’s youth learning and engaged. LCEC’s offerings are guided by a justice and equity-focused LCEC Framework, details of which can be found on our website, lcecmadison.org/about.
Your generous donation will directly fund our summer youth camps. These camps will host over 80 kids who will participate in various enriching activities – from cooking and science clubs to art projects, dance workshops, and outdoor adventures. At LCEC, children and youth are encouraged to grow, explore, and learn how to use their collective power for societal good in a nurturing and inclusive environment.
