Our summer J&J programming is focusing on the Phoenix Affirmations, which the pastors are preaching about this summer. These are 12 affirmations of the Progressive Christian Church on the practices of loving God, loving the neighbor, and loving ourselves. The reading(s) will be kept light most weeks.
This Sunday, we will be discussing Affirmation 10:
“Christian love of ourselves includes claiming the sacredness of both our minds and our hearts, recognizing that faith and science, doubt and belief serve the pursuit of truth.”

List of Phoenix Affirmations by content:
  1. Walk fully with Jesus, don’t deny other faiths
  2. Prayer, meditation, scripture
  3. Celebrate creation
  4. Worship includes art
  5. Engage people authentically across diversity
  6. Stand with poor and oppressed
  7. Separate church and state
  8. Walk humbly with God, seek to understand enemies
  9. We and all people are loved
  10. Sacredness of minds and hearts, doubt and belief
  11. Care for bodies, time for rest, reflection, recreation
  12. Meaning and purpose, discernment of calling

AUGUST COMPASSION OFFERING
The Great Turning Catholic Worker House of Hospitality
 
The Great Turning Catholic Worker Farm is a community on the west side of Madison offering hospitality and community to people experiencing homelessness. We prioritize mothers with their children, refugees, asylees, and immigrants. Guests have been referred to us by St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Parish, folks in the Meadowood and Prairie Hills neighborhoods, and soon the Catholic Multicultural Center.
 
A ‘house of hospitality’ within the Catholic Worker movement provides shelter, and often food and clothing, to those in need. The Catholic Worker was founded by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin in New York in 1933 amidst the Great Depression as a way to live out Catholic Social Teaching and the Gospel values– responding to the needs of those immediately around them.
 
At the Great Turning, we usually expect to have from one to four adult guests and one live-in volunteer. We come together for one community meal each week (we’d like to do more, with more support), a monthly roundtable discussion, and other time together with guests depending on support needed that we can provide.
 
We’d like to thank all of you at Orchard Ridge UCC for your support. This is a community endeavor, and not something our organization is trying to do in isolation. If this model resonates with you, consider joining us for a work day on Saturday, August 12 from 8:00 am to noon (1409 Lucy Ln), focused on both outdoor projects for the house and inside projects that more directly benefit guests. In addition, we are looking for other kinds of support including meal preparation, childcare, transportation for guests, gardening, house maintenance, and financial support. Or see the listing in the ORUCC e-post each Thursday throughout the month of August for household items to donate. Thank you!
 
Thank you in advance for your contribution.
You can make a donation by check. On the memo line, please write “compassion” and mail to ORUCC, 1501 Gilbert Road, Madison, WI 53711, or donate online from our website.
