UC National News - 22-28 Jan 2021 - Prayers for the USA, Our Day of Mourning and more
UCA President Dr Deidre Palmer has called church members to hold churches and people in the United States in their prayers in the coming weeks and months.
In welcoming the incoming Biden adminstration Dr Palmer said ,“We pray for strength and the Spirit’s sustaining power to uphold all those people of nonviolence and peace, who are resisting the hate and lies that are undermining the flourishing of civil society.”
The UAICC's Pastor Mark Kickett will join UCA President Dr Deidre Palmer this Sunday in a worship service to mark the 2021 UCA Day of Mourning. The live-captioned service will be streamed on the UCA's Vimeo channel and Facebook page and will be available for download soon after the Service.
As part of the Act2 consultation, we’re hosting five open Zoom conversations over the next three weeks. We want to hear your thoughts and ideas, the particular challenges you're facing and what you think the UCA's next steps should be. Sessions will be limited to 22 places per session, so book your spot now.
