SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday | Dance is Holy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the live premiere of Dance is Holy\, a powerful online screening that reimagines the story of communion\, sacrifice\, and love—told entirely through movement. This evocative dance film invites us into reflection: What does it mean to show up for each other? How are we being called to the table\, still? \nWe’ll watch together\, hold space for one another\, and remember that love—embodied\, fierce\, and holy—is always at the center. \nGrab a friend. Pull up a chair. Share a meal while you watch. \nWATCH HERE

SUMMARY:Good Friday
DESCRIPTION:The cross was meant to silence. To break. To end. But we know that love doesn’t die that easily. \nOn this Good Friday\, we gather to bear witness to suffering—the suffering of Jesus\, the suffering of our world\, and the ways empire still tries to crush truth. Through music\, storytelling\, and deep reflection\, we hold space for grief and look toward what’s coming. \nWe sit in the sorrow—but we do not sit alone. \nJoin us on socials and YouTube for a Worship Celebration!

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. Importantly\, we use this group to take action. We register new voters and mobilize voters for every election. 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.
