SUMMARY:Freedom Rising Conference
DESCRIPTION:October 31–November 2\, 2025 | New York City & Online\nThe 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. \nWhat are we called to do in a time such as this? \nWe will not meet the rise of white Christian nationalism with silence or compliance. \nNow is the time for people of moral courage\, spiritual imagination\, and radical love to come together. A multiracial\, multifaith\, intergenerational movement must rise—committed to justice\, compassion\, and strategic resistance. \nWe have been here before. And we know what it takes. It takes vision. It takes a Sankofa memory that reaches into the past to retrieve what is good and true. It takes prayer\, persistence\, the wisdom of our elders\, and the audacity of our youth. \nNow is the time. \n

SUMMARY:Village Chorus for Children & Youth
DESCRIPTION:The Village Chorus for Children and Youth at Middle Church is a program that educates children about the significance of community engagement in promoting racial\, LGBTQIA+\, and economic equality through music. Participants learn a diverse repertoire\, including pieces from Beethoven\, the Beatles\, and Broadway\, which helps them build confidence and receive support from the congregation. The chorus performs monthly during worship services and has showcased their talents at venues like Joe’s Pub at The Public\, The Lower Eastside Girls Club\, and the New York Public Library. \nRehearsals are conducted via in-person on Sundays from 1:00 to 2:15 pm. \nWhile there is no cost to join\, children should have a passion for music\, a strong desire to learn\, and the ability to read. \nFor more information or to join\, interested individuals can contact the director\, John Del Cueto.
