Back by Popular Demand: Brick Campaign Relaunch
You asked, we listened! Our beloved Brick Campaign is back by popular demand just in time for Homecoming on Sunday, September 7th. When we returned to our sacred space in April, many of you made your mark on Middle’s return by dedicating a brick.
These bricks are now proudly displayed! The response was overwhelming and we heard from so many who wanted another chance to join in. Now you can!
Join us for Homecoming Sunday today in-person & online
We're back home!
Wherever you live, you can call Middle Church home. We have members in 48 states and 22 countries. Our members are Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Unitarian, Atheist, Agnostic, and Christians of every denomination and creed. What unites us? Commitment to this movement for love and justice. The only thing we’re missing is you.
We Will Not Bow to White Christian Nationalism
The new administration has begun advancing a legislative agenda that threatens the moral fabric of our nation. With policies that endanger immigrant communities, dismantle civil rights, and embolden systems of exclusion, we are witnessing a deliberate rollback of justice under the banner of power and control.
What are we called to do in a time such as this?
Fight back.
Upcoming at Middle
Digital Learning Collective
All are invited to join in this monthly conversation to discuss technology’s role in our lives. We’ll be sharing tips, tricks, and helpful hacks to get the most from the tools that we use.
Cancer Support Group
Join us for Middle Church’s first Cancer Support Group meeting, facilitated by Monique Fortuné. This gathering will be a safe and compassionate space for:
- Individuals currently navigating cancer challenges
- Survivors walking in healing and strength
- Family members and loved ones offering support
Praying Dangerously
This group welcomes everyone—whether you’re brand new to prayer or have been praying for years—who’s curious about how prayer can shape personal and collective transformation.
Prayer Shawl Project
The New York Conference of the UCC denomination is planning to cover the state of New York with prayer shawls this year. We have until the top of June next year to crochet, kit, or sew as many as we can. We can then decide where we would like to donate them.
You can crochet/knit/sew on your own and just keep Rev. Natalie updated with pics or a count of how many you have done. If you don’t live in New York, you can either mail them to me at Middle or you can give them away to folks or organizations in your area. We can cover the nation in prayer!
On Tyranny: Book Read and Discussion
As we witness the dismantling of democracy in real time, how do we prepare ourselves to resist tyranny with courage and clarity? Join Revs. Natalie, Amanda, and Jillian for a two-part series reading On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by historian Timothy Snyder.
