"Be still and know that I am God"
- Psalm 46:10
Please plan to join us as we gather in meditative contemplation from 10:00 until 11:00 on Saturday in the Sanctuary.
On this Fifth Sunday of Lent, in the midst of dry valleys, death, and destruction, we’ll listen for prophetic voices, leaning into hope instead of fear. There is plenty of bad news when it comes to the care of our planet, but there is good news too! So as we explore the story of Lazarus’ resurrection we’ll mourn with Martha, Mary, and Jesus over the reality of death, but also look for signs of life, asking God to breathe new life into us so we can rise up like the dry bones in Ezekiel 37.
Cheiko Chambers will play her flute, accompanied by music director, Jeffrey Frederick Paul, and we’ll enjoy special music from our choir, accompanied by Tim K. Murphy. Susan Russell will serve as liturgist, and Rev. Jen Chapman will preach and lead the service. Childcare will be available during the service for children ages 2 and up.

Join us on Friday, March 27, as we lean into Lent, and prepare for Easter with a fun film set in the land and times of Jesus, but with a comedic twist: two cons try to exploit the rising popularity of this rumored messiah, only to find that maybe the miracles are all too real.

On this fourth Sunday of Lent, guest pastor Rev. Julie Stokstad will reflect on healing—of the earth, in connection with our Lenten study, and of our communities and ourselves. In biblical times, people struggled to understand how healing could occur. In much the same way, people today sometimes find it hard to accept that healing is part of God’s work in the world.
Tim K. Murphy will lead us through this week's Hymns and Special Music selections from the ACC Ensemble. Dea Harrell will serve as Liturgist. Thanks to Rev. Julie Stokstad who will lead the service while Pastor Jen is out sick. Childcare will be available during the service for children ages 2 and up.

Death doulas, also known as end-of-life doula or death midwives, provide non-medical support to both the dying person and their family. Doulas provide emotional, spiritual, and physical support at an intensely personal and crucial time. They assist people in finding meaning and planning for how the last days will unfold. Doulas also guide and support loved ones through the last days of life and ease the suffering of grief in its early stages. This emotional support can make all the difference for a dying person and the family facing a loss.
Julie Derby Jaecksch of Final Season Doula is an experienced death doula. You are invited to meet Julie at Arlington Community Church on Thursday, March 5. A potluck dinner will be served at 6:15 (bring something to share); the program will start at 7:00.

“The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the Prophets sought to convey: that morally speaking, there is no limit to the concern one must feel for the suffering of human beings, that indifference to evil is worse than evil itself, that in a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible."
— Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Prophets.
On February 22, we'll gather to discuss Satsuki Ina's powerful memoir The Poet and the Silk Girl, which tells the story of her parents' incarceration in American concentration camps during World War II. Born herself at the Tule Lake War Relocation Center, Dr. Ina weaves together her mother's diary, her father's haiku, and smuggled letters to reveal both the brutality of that injustice and her family's resilience. But this isn't only a historical discussion. Dr. Ina, a trauma therapist and co-founder of Tsuru for Solidarity, explicitly connects her family's experience to contemporary mass detention at our borders and the separation of migrant children from their families. We'll explore what these parallel injustices reveal about complicity, witness, and faithful response. When the state dehumanizes people—whether as "enemy aliens" then or "illegals" now—what does our faith require of us? How do we move from empathy to action, from comfortable distance to costly solidarity?
For an introduction to Dr. Ina, see on YouTube, 'We need to speak up': Rachel Maddow sits down with Japanese-American incarceration camp survivor, Dr. Satsuki Ina.
Join us, even if you don’t have time to read the book. Nick and Eleanor Crump will lead the discussion on Sunday, February 22, in the Fireside Room.
How to get the book:
Amazon: hardcover, Paperback, Kindle
Heyday Press: Paperback and Hardcover
Kensington Library: e-book available as well as hardcopy available through Link plus service, where Contra Costa County Libraries borrow the book from other library systems in California.
On this First Sunday of Lent we’ll spend some time in the garden with God, digging into the second story of creation in Genesis chapter 2 and 3. Have you ever wondered what was so bad about eating fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? This story about the “forbidden fruit” has been used in harmful ways, so we’ll do our best to set those interpretations aside and hear the story anew, with open hearts and minds.
We’re excited to welcome Desmond Hartigan-O’Connor, a young organist who has been practicing on our church organ, as he plays our Offertory this Sunday. We’ll also enjoy Special Music from our Choir, directed by Jeffrey Frederick Paul and accompanied by Tim K. Murphy. Elena Caruthers will serve as Liturgist, and Rev. Jen Chapman will preach and lead the service. Childcare will be available during the service for children ages 2 and up.

One way of keeping our congregation strong is by staying connected. You are invited to join us every Tuesday morning from 11:00 – Noon for an hour of checking in, sharing, listening and prayer. No experience necessary. Come as you are.
Discussion Topic: Let's Learn about Greenland!
"What do you know about Greenland? Do a little research and bring a fun fact or something interesting to share. We'll learn about Greenland and pray for the people who live there."
