UC National News - 10-16 Mar 2021 - Innovation & Growing Disciples, Palm Sunday Walk for Justice, What's your Act2? and more

Growing faith beyond the Pulpit

As part of our series on Innovation, Rev Charissa Suli shares what it's been like to go live on Instagram for a time of talanoa and worship. Charissa says it's been an amazing opportunity to meet people where they are at and reimagine ways we share the good news of Christ's love with all generations. 

Get ready for Act2

What would the future UCA look like for you? Vibrant, worshipping communities of faith; innovative expressions of who we are with God; advocating for people who don’t have a voice; living as faithful disciples of a God who is present with us? 
What do you think?
 
Tell us by taking the Act2 survey which will close on 16 April.
