Where’s Congress?

Who knew that prayers for peace would be so needed in 2026? 3 mass shootings in 3 days and now Trump’s invasion of Venezuela? Lord in your mercy… #BeUMC #peacewalk

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few. Democrats must remember this — and act on it.

The Christmas story is an interfaith story. We are invited to love our neighbors right from the beginning of the birth. #BeUMC #LoveWns

So grateful for the Venerable Monks and their “Walk for Peace.” It was a joy to see them on X-MAS at Foundry UMC in Opelika, AL tonight. Thank you @revphc.bsky.social for your hospitality! #BeUMC

Giving thanks today that God didn’t arrive with noise or power, but as a humble child. Mary didn’t try and explain it she pondered it. Maybe the holy still shows up quietly, interrupting ordinary lives if we’re willing to notice. #BeUMC

Public words after a death matter. "Blessed are the merciful" isn’t just a spiritual truth from Jesus, it’s about being a decent human. Even in disagreement, we are called to choose dignity. May we hold the Reiner family in our prayers.

Happy Thanksgiving Bluesky Friends!

It’s official. @dougjones.bsky.social will run against Tommy Tuberville for Alabama governor. www.al.com/life/2025/11...

A Christ the King Sunday prayer: "Gracious God, in Jesus we find an alternative to the monarchs and leaders of history. Help us revere and emulate the Jesus way of living. Guide us with your spirit to live with compassion, to love, serve, and seek justice for all people. In Christ we pray. AMEN"

Never Forget, Never Again לעולם אל תשכח לעולם לא

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Volunteers at Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas have painted the steps in rainbow colors as a sign of welcome to all.

Buy nothing. Start preparing now, it’s gonna be a long one.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

As the celebrate recent wins, we know that midterm elections are gearing up for next November. May we never forget the privilege of voting. Every person matters. #EJI #humanrights

World War 2 veterans, the original antifa, took part in the nationwide protests against the fascist Trump regime. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

Love this 50th anniversary of School House Rock! No More Kings!

Pope Leo at Jubilee Mass: “Let us take care to avoid any exploitation of the faith that could lead to labelling those who are different — often the poor — as enemies, ‘lepers’ to be avoided and rejected.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Do you know this story? Ten were healed. One turned back and one gave thanks. In a world of division, deportation, where some are called unclean. Gratitude whispers wholeness and wellness. Gratitude is resistance. (Luke 17:11–19) What are you grateful for today? #BeUMC

A message of challenge and hope. Enjoy.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

Jane Goodall leaves us a legacy of reverence for all living creatures. Near the Feast of Saint Francis, her life reminds us: "Ask the animals, and they will teach you." (Job 12:7) #JaneGoodall

Christian nationalist Pete Hegseth invoked Jesus today while preaching the opposite. Read Jesus’s actual words in Matthew 5-7: love enemies, blessed are peacemakers, blessed are the meek. Then compare to Hegseth’s “crush enemies” and “overwhelming violence.” The contrast exposes the distortion.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead Praying for you Greta and the Flotilla!

David Brooks reminds us, "résumé virtues fade, but eulogy virtues last"...kindness, honesty, courage, faithfulness. In a world of noise and power, what matters most is the development of our soul and the contribution of the love we leave behind. How is it with your soul? #BeUMC

Thank you Hollywood UMC! We stand with Jimmy, The Social Priniciples, and the values of human rights #BeUMC

Thank you Claire for your beautiful tribute to Helen Ryde. As @Bishopken shared, Helen changed the church and our world. May we all “Stay in the water”. #BeUMC

“All great spirituality is about what we do with our pain, either we transmit it, or we transform it.” Richard Rohr. In this season of guns, violence, blame and outrage, what helps you choose love instead of passing on pain? #BeUMC

Never thought I’d say a prayer for Charlie Kirk. But here goes. Political violence has no place in this country.

Thank you @rbreich.bsky.social for continuing to shine a light on inequality in America. Until money is out of politics and everyone pays their fair share, justice, and opportunity for all will remain out of reach. We must do better for everyone, not just the wealthy few.

“Salt is good, but if it loses its taste, what good is it?’ (Luke 14:34) Don’t let your values go bland. Preserve justice, flavor life with love, and show up fully, not halfway. Love you Helen! #StaySalty #CountTheCost #BeUMC

Trump’s Confession about God and heaven? Thank you @Brandon Ambro for these challenging, humbling words. #grace #justice

If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Pope Leo: “We offer prayers for the victims of the tragic shooting during a school Mass in the American State of Minnesota include the countless children killed and injured every day around the world. Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.”

In Luke 14, Jesus noticed people in this world scrambling for the best seats. He flipped the script: no fighting for status, no shutting others out. Imagine a world where everyone has a place, immigrants, outsiders, the overlooked. Pull up a chair. #BeUMC

Minneapolis Archbishop: Prayer “doesn’t absolve us from then moving forward and taking actions that minimize the risks of a recurrence of what happened…So I do think we as a community have to be looking at the prevalence of gun violence …and how it is that we’re addressing the mental health crisis.”

Stop and read! Thank you @billbarrow.bsky.social for shining truth on this horrific reality. apnews.com/article/minn...

How Long O Lord? Thoughts and prayers are not helping anyone. Where is there sanctuary, really? Move this nation. Stir hearts. Allow rage to bring change. Move reluctant leaders out of the way. Let peace and healing be our only motive. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayers. #BeUMC

The head of the Italian Bishops’ Conference took turns with dozens of other members of his diocese reading the names and ages of the 16 Israeli children and the 12,211 Palestinian children who have been killed in the war…the service lasted 7 hours. religionnews.com/2025/08/18/c...

Do you know this story? The trees once sought a king, only the thornbush said yes (Judges 9:7–15). A warning: when the good stay silent, the unfit rise. We need leaders of integrity and courage. Speak truth. Step up. Don’t let the thornbush rule. #leadership #courage

“Anyone can slay a dragon… try waking up every morning & loving the world again…that’s what takes a real hero.” Brian Andreas 🐉✨ Sharing this artwork as we start a new week. May these words inspire you. #MondayMotivation #BrianAndreas”

In Luke 12, Jesus speaks of kindling a fire, not to destroy, but to reveal what’s real. Fire in this way burns what doesn’t belong, making space for a new beginning. What might need to burn away in you so something truer can shine?
