SUMMARY:Please Join Us This Sunday\, September 28\, 2025!
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends in Christ\, \nMoses is known as the greatest prophet in the Hebrew scriptures. He stood up to Pharoah and led the people out of slavery into freedom. But Moses didn’t start off being a great leader. When God called him to save the people\, Moses declined\, and gave no fewer than six excuses in a row as to why he really couldn’t\, shouldn’t\, wouldn’t go. We may laugh\, but Moses’ complaints are actually quite reasonable by human standards\, and ones that we still use today. How did God reassure Moses and convince him to go? How did Moses evolve from being a “Let someone else deal with it” kind of prophet to a “Let my people go!” kind of prophet? \nPlease join us this Sunday as we explore the answers to these questions. This conversation has much to teach us about answering God’s call and being the hands and feet of Jesus on the earth today amidst a similar call to help. \nWe will look forward to seeing you there! \nMany blessings\, \nPastor Tracy

SUMMARY:Please Join Us This Sunday\, September 21\, 2025!
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends of Christ\, \nThe book of Exodus is about people that defy expectations. Over and over they are forced to choose between the status quo\, the old ways\, or boldly stepping into new territory that feels treacherous and uncertain. But long before Moses parts the waters\, long before the people are taken to task for building the golden calf\, long before manna falls from heaven or frogs fall from the sky\, it starts with two women who defy authority. They quietly subvert expectations for blind obedience and they resist and sabotage tyrannical authority. Without them\, we wouldn’t have Moses. Without them\, there never would have been a “Let my people go\,” because there would no longer have been a people to let go. Their tiny acts of defiance risked their own lives\, but changed the fate of a nation. \nJoin us this Sunday as we learn about two unlikely and undercelebrated outlaws and how much they have to tech us about resistance against fascism. \nWe will look forward to seeing you there! \nMany blessings\, \nPastor Tracy

SUMMARY:EMERGING STRATEGIES TO FIGHT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF AI DATA CENTERS
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n \nEmerging threats demand emerging strategies. The rise of AI data centers has been a driver in the rise in power demand and increasing greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Moreover\, the advanced cooling systems required by these data centers necessitate high levels of water consumption which can have serious ecological consequences\, especially in places of water scarcity. Finally\, the technological components of AI data centers require the extracting of rare earth minerals in addition to generating enormous amounts of electronic waste. The justice concerns intertwined with these issues are many when one considers the racial and economic disparities in bearing the cost of everything from increased utility bills to the harms of climate change. To address what is at stake and point us toward emerging strategies\, we will hear from following featured guests: -Anthony Rogers-Wright\, The Black Hive of Movement for Black Lives -Nayyirah Shariff\, Flint Rising -Wanda Mosley\, Black Voters Matter -Lindsay Harper\, Arm in Arm Even if you cannot make the live event\, still register\, and we will send you a recording. This monthly installment of Creation Justice Webinars is co-hosted by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt who serves as the Minister of Environmental Justice for the United Church of Christ and the Rev. Michael Malcom who serves as the Executive Director for Alabama Interfaith Power & Light and the People’s Justice Council.

SUMMARY:Please Join Us This Sunday\, August 31\, 2025!
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends in Christ\, \nMary Magdalene is a figure of great mystery and controversy. She is both judged and revered. As the first evangelist called by Christ\, she holds a critical place in history. There is much that we don’t know about her and much that has been made up about her. As Jesus’ designated apostle\, the first witness to the resurrection\, she wears a special mantle that has much to teach us about faith\, calling\, and redemption. When we delve into the history of her name and discipleship\, we find that Jesus holds her up as a special testament to faith in difficult times and places\, and her example has much to teach us. \nThis Sunday we will be assembling our 1000th Sack Lunch (and many more) after worship\, and celebrating with a BBQ and Potluck.

SUMMARY:Please Join Us This Sunday\, August 24\, 2025!
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends in Christ\, \nThe story of Jesus casting demons into swine is a strange story that raises many questions. Why was there a herd of pigs in Israel? Can people really be possessed by thousands of demons? Did this unbelievable event really happen? This Sunday we will be digging into this scripture and its historical implications. When we unpack this episode from the book of Matthew\, we find it holds many lessons for us in today’s world. \nI’d like to give a special thanks to Rodney for preaching while I was away last Sunday\, and to everyone who kept the church running smoothly in my absence. \nYou may notice we have a new motorized gate in our parking lot. More than a year ago our gate was vandalized and the lock was destroyed. We have now upgraded the gate\, the lock and the whole system. This will increase safety and ease of use. This was a huge project that took many months to organize. A special thanks to Rodney Chadderton\, Giselle Toporkova\, and the entire Church Council (Rev. Lisa\, Rev. Janie\, Jenni\, Tom\, Gary\, and Rodney) for all their efforts to bring this project to completion. If you see these good folk\, take a moment to tell them thank you.

SUMMARY:Please Join Us This Sunday\, August 3\, 2025!
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends in Christ\, \nThis Sunday we are studying a passage from Matthew\, in which John the Baptist asks Jesus whether He is the one they’ve been waiting for. This is a loaded question\, and speaks to the great disillusionment of John and the people of Israel at the time. How do we wait and hope when it seems everything is going wrong? What are the promises God has made to her people\, and how do they still apply today? Jesus’ answer gets right to the heart of the issue\, and gives us a powerful perspective for today. \nLast Sunday I shared that our national gathering of UCC churches at the General Synod in July 2025 they passed a resolution denouncing ICE for engaging in Domestic Terrorism. There were may resolutions passed and you can find them all here: Resolutions – United Church of Christ General Synod 35. Newsweek reported this in an article on July 17. \nThere are also recordings of all the keynote speakers\, plenaries\, and sermons if you want to watch them here: General Synod 35 Livestream \nWe will look forward to seeing you there! \nMany blessings\, \nPastor Tracy \nSave the Date \nWednesday\, August 6 – Prayer Group on Zoom at 7:00 PM \nSaturday\, August 9 – Knitting Ministry and Potluck Brunch 9 AM – 12 Noon in the Fellowship Hall \nSunday\, August 10 – Blessings for all August Birthdays and Anniversaries! \nSaturday\, August 16 – Labyrinth Walk at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center\, 501 S. Buena Vista St.\, Burbank\, CA. The walk begins at 11 AM and goes until 1 PM. Parking on-site will be $5 that day. We will be picnicking on-site that day after the walk\, and please bring a brown-bag lunch and/or something to share. Carpooling is encouraged – contact Tere if you want a ride or can give a ride: 213-479-5566. \nAugust 11 – 17  – Pastor Tracy out of the office. \nSunday\, August 17 – Guest Preacher Rodney Chadderton will deliver a sermon “Paid in Full” on Colossians 2. \nSunday\, August 31 – Sack Lunch and BBQ Picnic with WestPoint Church Youth Group

SUMMARY:Please Join Us This Sunday\, July 27\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends in Christ\, \nThis week we are studying Delilah (and Samson) yes\, in that order. Samson is often known as a hero due to his super-human strength. But Samson was not a good person\, and Delilah often gets blamed for his demise. But when we look at what Delilah actually said and did\, we see a much different picture of strong biblical womanhood emerge. What do we do when we see political strongmen abusing their power with women caught in the middle? Delilah’s example may surprise you\, and it may have much to teach us today. \nYou all may notice this Sunday that our gates are being repaired. The gate to the parking lot was damaged some time back\, and our gate to the courtyard is cumbersome to use and relatively insecure due to the stakes that are driven into the ground. Special thanks to Rodney and Giselle and the entire church council for finding a solution\, getting bids\, and coming in early\, staying late\, and getting the gates repaired and upgraded so that they are now motor-powered\, much more secure\, and easier to operate. The entire project should (hopefully!) be completed next week. Watch for more information in upcoming weeks! \nThis Sunday after worship we will be packing sack lunches. Please join us if you are able to help us reach our goal of 1000 sack lunches this year! \nPrayer Group meets every Wednesday night on Zoom at 7 PM \nDid you miss worship last Sunday but want to catch up? You can find recent sermons on our YouTube channel here. \nWe will look forward to seeing you there! \nMany blessings\, \nPastor Tracy \n

SUMMARY:Please Join Us This Sunday\, July 20\, 2025!
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends in Christ\, \nThis Sunday we will be reading the story of Jesus healing the Centurion’s servant. This story is a brief encounter in Jesus’ ministry\, but rich with political\, social\, and moral meaning. We have heard the commandment\, “love your enemy\,” but what does it look like to put that into action? This short dialogue between Jesus and the Centurion gets to the heart of that question and still speaks volumes for today’s society. \nSince we transitioned from Facebook to Zoom for our online worship\, we have been behind on getting our recordings up for people to view after Sunday. We are now up and running with our sermons on YouTube. If you missed any of our Pride Series\, you can find them here: \nMay 25\, 2025 – Scriptural Authority \nJune 1\, 2025 – The First Gay Disciple \nJune 8\, 2025 – Salvation and Unity (Pentecost) \nJune 15\, 2025 – The Real Reason Sodom and Gomorrah were Destroyed \nJune 22\, 2025 – Paul Defends Lesbians \nJune 29\, 2025 – Who is my Neighbor? Xenophobia and how to combat it \nJuly 6\, 2025 – Let Freedom Ring (Guest Preacher Rev. Howard Fauntroy) \nJuly 13\, 2025 – Being Gay and Getting into Heaven \nDue to the current political climate and out of an abundance of respect for folks’ privacy\, I made the decision to only upload the scripture and sermons where the camera is focused on the pulpit. Portions of the worship service that show folks in the pews\, or have people’s names displayed on the Zoom screen will not be available on YouTube at the current time. \nSAVE THE DATE \nPrayer Group – Wednesday\, July 23 at 7 PM on Zoom.  \nAssembling Sack Lunches – Sunday\, July 27 immediately following worship. Many hands are needed\, so please join if you are available. \nBlessings for August Birthdays and Anniversaries – Sunday\, August 10 during worship. \nMembership Class – Saturday\, August 23 from 10 AM – 1 PM in the Fellowship Hall. If you are interested in joining West Hollywood United Church of Christ\, come to the class to learn more. Our by-laws state that anyone who has been attending and donating for a year\, and attended a membership class\, can be approved by Council to join.
