SUMMARY:May Day Strike for Equality
DESCRIPTION:National organizations are asking us to demonstrate our collective economic power and not go to work or school or do any shopping on May 1 (if at all possible). Instead we will gather at a locally-owned and operated theater and watch “Inequality for All” to learn more about how the billionaire class is threatening our economy and our democracy. We will have a brief discussion after the film about what we learned and how we can effect change. Admission is free! \nEvent organized by Indivisible Mobile.

SUMMARY:The Sum of Us: Chapter 10
DESCRIPTION:Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure\, she found a common root problem: racism. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people\, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems\, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all. But how did this happen? And is there a way out? \nThis week we read and discuss chapter 10\, “The Solidarity Dividend.” Mike Carns will lead. The reading can be found here.

SUMMARY:Open Table Worship: The Serviceberry
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Open Table worship (which occurs on every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month in the All Saints Chapel). We will begin with a time of prayer / meditation. This will be followed by a discussion of our new sermon-time topic\, Robin Wall Kimmerer’s The Serviceberry. Reading pages 41-65. The reading can be found here. Rhoda Vanderhart will lead. \nThe Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer is a thought-provoking exploration of how we can rethink our relationship with nature\, economy\, and community through the lens of reciprocity. \nDrawing from Indigenous wisdom\, ecological science\, and real-world examples\, Kimmerer challenges the capitalist mindset of scarcity and hoarding. She offers an alternative—one rooted in generosity\, mutual care\, and sustainability. Using the serviceberry tree as a guiding metaphor\, she illustrates how nature thrives on cooperation\, not competition. The book invites readers to embrace a new model of abundance where giving\, rather than accumulating\, ensures collective well-being. \nAll are welcome.
