My hope is that by setting aside an hour of quiet time (perhaps on Sunday mornings) for yourself to read the attached sermon, watch the video by clicking on the embedded link, listening to the music suggested, and using the prompts for reflection and prayer will provide a way to nurture your soul. Ubuntu is a Zulu word that means, I am because we are. Southminster serves as a place for affirmation and inclusivity and faith and most importantly “community.” We are a gathering space for those seeking to transform the world. We need it, we need you, we need us. We hope that everyone in our midst will continue to make connections, share their passions, and find a way to love each other in this virtual world that we are creating. There is a place beyond Fear and Hope and it’s right here…in you…in me…with us.

April 7: The Left Hand of God by Michael Lerner “The unholy alliance of the Political Right and the Religious Right threatens to destroy the America we love. It also threatens to generate a revulsion against God and religion by identifying them with militarism, ecological irresponsibility, fundamentalist antagonism to science and rational thought, and insensitivity to the needs of the poor and the powerless.” Lerner proposes a Spiritual Covenant with America that emphasizes a caring and nurturing society focused not merely on social responsibility but on human connectedness. He argues that in order for progressive politics to survive in America, liberals must develop a respect for progressive forms of religion that can provide inspiration and a sense of "meaning" in people's lives. https://www.amazon.com/Left-Hand-God-Political-Spiritual/dp/0061146625 https://catalog.wccls.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=1651684 See more details • •	8 All Activities Suspended until April 10th All Activities Suspended until April 10th March 13, 2020 - April 9, 2020 We have decided to cancel all face-to-face group activities, events, committees and worship services for the next 4-weeks.
