Scripture and sermon from our worship service commemorating Juneteenth.
Matthew 10: 34-39 (NRSV)
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law – 36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. 37 Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.

On Memorial Day, a group from Skyline Community Church attended an inspiring prayer gathering, on the site of Save the West Berkeley Shellmound. People brought artwork, ribbons and good intentions for this sacred site, and through the songs and voices of guest speakers, we connected it with the work happening around the world to end colonial violence. So, as Corrina Gould puts it, “that we can create the world we want to see for the next seven generations.”
Visit our Facebook page to read a note of gratitude from Corrina Gould, tribal spokesperson of the Confederated Villages of Lisjan/Ohlone, a Chochenyo and Karin Ohlone woman and long-time activist who works to protect, preserve, and reclaim ancestral lands.
