SUMMARY:Second United Lenape/ Lunaapeew Nations Pow Wow - 12pm ET
DESCRIPTION:Join Middle Church in attending the Second United Lenape/ Lunaapeew Nations Pow Wow on Saturday\, September 13th when the Grand Entry begins 12:00PM at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park\, Brooklyn.   Contact Reparations@middlechurch.org to connect for attendance gathering.  See flyer for more details. \n  \nMiddle Church joins the Eenda-Lunaapeewahkiing Collective (El Collective)\, American Indian Community House and Prospect Park Alliance in sponsoring the Second United Lenape/ Lunaapeew Nations Pow Wow on September 13 & 14 at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park\, Brooklyn. Experience this important tradition of Lenape and allied Indigenous artists and creators\, dancers and drummers\, and artisan craft and food vendors in Prospect Park for a weekend of family-friendly culture\, learning and fun.  Free and open to all.  Register on Eventbrite to support headcount. \nLunáapeew/Lenape means human beings or\, more specifically\, “the ones who came from thought\,” and is the name of the indigenous peoples whose ancestral homelands encompassed what is today Brooklyn and the surrounding region. Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing\, “the land of the Lunáapeew\,” holds the stories of a civilization rich with a deep understanding of the delicate balance and mutual relationships necessary to nurture and sustain a healthy world. \nProspect Park Alliance is hosting this event as part of their ReImagine Lefferts initiative\, which seeks to re-envision the mission and programming of the Lefferts Historic House museum in Prospect Park to focus on exploring the lives\, resistance and resilience of the Indigenous people of Lenapehoking\, whose unceded ancestral lands the park and house rests upon\, and the Africans enslaved by the Lefferts family. The Second United Lenape/Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow will be organized and staffed by and for Lenape/Lunáapeew\, offering communities pushed over centuries across Turtle Island a chance to reconnect with each other. \n

SUMMARY:Voter Reform Group
DESCRIPTION:A strong democracy depends on civic engagement and a commitment to pluralism. We come together every other week to learn\, discuss\, and share our individual perspectives on elections and political issues affecting our communities and nation.

We encourage members to become poll workers and monitors\, and to take action on voting rights and other justice issues. We engage in nonpartisan postcard writing campaigns to encourage people to vote and remove any financial barrier so that all citizens can equally participate. Together\, we send thousands of cards and letters and amplify our impact. Join us bi-weekly on Sundays at 10am-11am to mobilize. \nClick here to RSVP and receive Zoom information for our next meeting. \nTo join the team\, contact votingproject@middlechurch.org.

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.

SUMMARY:Prayer Shawl Project - Hybrid
DESCRIPTION: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. \nYou 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! \nJoin us for this first meeting in person in the 5th FL Parlor and email Rev. Natalie or on Zoom at 7 pm ET.
