Speaker: Much of our suffering comes from trying to control what was never ours to control: other people, their choices, and circumstances beyond our reach. Drawing from Buddhist wisdom, this service explores the practice of letting go, not as resignation, but as an act of clarity and compassion. Together, we’ll reflect on how releasing our grip on what cannot be changed can open space for greater peace, acceptance, and freedom in our lives. Speaker: This is the longest day of the year–the harbinger of both the long, hot summer ahead and the beginning of the shortening of each day as we begin the inexorable march into winter. Speaker: Many adherents of the Abrahamic religions hold a belief that God, or the Divine, possesses unlimited power. This discourse will explore the many problematic implications of such a belief, especially at a time when our taking responsibility for addressing the challenges for our human and ecological communities has never been more urgent. Speaker: When empires are in decline, they often create spectacles and distractions to keep much of the citizenry from seeing the depths of debauchery to which the society has sunk. Speaker: Music has been an integral part of the Queer community for its entire history. From innuendo to bravely speaking our truths out loud; major hits to B side and forgotten references; it buoyed us along and let us know that we existed, that there IS a place for us and that me can be loved. Speaker: How I stumbled face-first into the mutual aid networks of my new home in Minneapolis, learned to help and protect my neighbors, and what it looks like going forward. Speaker: Democracy cannot survive in a post-truth society. The truth and evidence-based critical thinking matter if we are to develop the shared understanding of reality that makes beloved community possible Speaker: Democracy cannot survive increasing income equality. As the gap between the rich and poor widens so does the inequality in their political power and participation, with fewer and fewer people controlling our economic and political processes. Speaker: Karrisa feels it is her duty to her Indigenous Relatives to help create safe spaces where our people can gain knowledge together. To show that we are good allies, please wear red, especially red dresses, if at all possible. Speaker: Emergency Preparedness is vital knowledge, at home, work, and church. Being aware of your surroundings and knowing what to do in case of a medical or weather emergency or even a hostile situation can give you the confidence to save lives, including your own. We will discuss the various types of emergencies you may face here at church, what to do during those emergencies and what the EP Team is planning to make our gathering place safer for everyone.

Karrisa Hodge is President and founder of Missing Murdered Indigenous Women Chahta. She has ancestry to 3 Tribal Nations from her mother and fathers’ side, but she is a Tribal member of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma to honor her auntie Wanda and Ibah (ee-bah) David. As a mother of 3 and a bonus to one she strives to be a strong woman role model for her children. She does this because she knows how influential that can be. Her biggest role models and strongest women that made an impact in her life were her auntie Wanda Querterbitty and her grandmother Elsa Garcia. Karrisa believes especially in the matriarchal tribes she’s a part of, that women are life givers, leaders and influencers. Karissa feels it is her duty to her Indigenous Relatives to help create safe spaces where our people can gain knowledge, together.
