SUMMARY:Agape Dinner Celebration
DESCRIPTION:An agape feast or love feast is a communal meal shared among Christians. The name comes from agape\, a Greek term for ‘love’ in its broadest sense.  Plan to join us on Thursday of Holy Week at 6:00 pm in Pilgrim Hall for a simple meal of soup\, salad\, bread\, and dessert as we remember this special and holy meal that Jesus instituted on one of his last nights. \nThe mood will be celebratory as we bless and share our food and drink\, hear the Choir sing\, and enjoy community\, blessed community!

If you need such space\, and even if you don’t\, join us for the Healing Service on Wednesday\, April 1st at 7:00 pm PT via Zoom. \n\n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 894 2291 8953 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nPasscode: 157967

SUMMARY:Learning Forum: Power and Politics in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Shouldn’t the public have a say in how AI is changing our lives? AI is marketed as a life-changing innovation made by brilliant experts and the companies they work for. Yet as the people most affected by AI tools\, we have almost no say in designing\, developing\, or deploying them. In this talk\, explore the ways that AI companies are shutting people out of their creation\, stifling competition\, threatening jobs\, and shaking up society. The speaker will be Onur Bakiner\, a professor and director of the Technology Ethics Initiative at Seattle University.  Register here. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the learning forum zoom meeting. \nPlan to attend!

SUMMARY:Women’s Underwear Drive and Potluck for All
DESCRIPTION:Underwear shoppers\, take note: It’s time for our annual collection of women’s underpants\, bras and socks; please put February 22 on your calendar and plan to attend this fun potluck. \nWe will gather BRAND-NEW items with tags still on for the women of Mary’s Place and Interbay Tiny Cabins Village. After sorting and counting items\, Lindsay Butler and Diane Wheeler will deliver them to the appropriate locations. \nPlease leave the tags on the items because it makes it easier for volunteers and staff to distribute the items by size. All sizes are welcome\, although larger sizes in bras and underpants are in more demand (perhaps because they are more expensive?).  Please purchase styles women would wear while job-hunting\, working\, or caring for their families. \nThis “gathering” of both items and people will be Sunday\, February 22\, immediately after coffee hour after the service up in the Fireside Room (11:30ish). There will be “quick” goodies and coffee available for those who can’t stay for lunch. \nThe Scouts will be participating again this year\, bringing their youthful energy and high productivity! \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Lindsay Butler (number in the directory).  If you are unable to attend the potluck\, but want to donate\, please contact the office for hours when it is open to receive drop-offs at contact@magnoliaucc.org\, or bring them to the Sunday services prior to or on Feb. 22. \nDiane and Lindsay can help with your shopping\, if you like. If you prefer to write a check\, please write it to MUCC and put “Mary’s Place” in the notes section; later in the month\, one check will be cut and mailed to Mary’s Place. This project has been a part of our church community for 16 years. Thank you!

SUMMARY:Taizé Service
DESCRIPTION:In these days of noise and conflict and division and sorrow… it is good to take a moment to breathe. It is good to take more minutes gathered in community\, to sing\, to sigh\, to pray and sit in silence with our God and with each other. Our worship service on February 15th is designed to flow like the prayerful services at the Taizé community in France. \nWe will listen to Scripture for ancient words that speak to us today. We will sit in sacred silence together. We will pray together. We will sing chants designed to take us deeper into communion with the Spirit. Beautiful\, easily-remembered\, harmonious chanting is a style of meditative prayer. Singing a two-line chant over and over provides us with a mantra\, a point of focus\, so our minds can take a break from spinning. Blending our voices together\, bringing harmony into the words of devotion\, we join our hearts and minds in worship. Quieting our minds\, we make room for the Still-Speaking God who lives within and around us. \nCome. Sit. Breathe. And chant in our sacred space together. Amen. \nBlessings\,\nRev. Michael Haven\n(She/Her/Hers)
