Sunday Service: Dedicated to the Ones We Love

Sunday Service: Dedicated to the Ones We Love

This Sunday, Micah will facilitate a deep dive into the rituals that have shaped us, the practices that might sustain us, and the habits that we might do well to let go of.
We’ll also commit to the communal care of a brand new human, so come prepared to explore just what the ritual of baptism means, especially in a world that regularly seems to be drowning in despair.

It's also Agape Sunday, so bring something to share at the table and we'll remind ourselves that love for all is the necessary ingredient for sustaining our Radical Hope.

Join us in person or online here.

Sunday Service: Holy Horrors

This All Saints Sunday, Micah will be joined by two astonishing artists who have breathed life-giving creativity into Judson's space and who are now two of the top beloved authors in the world of horror. Both Nat Cassidy and Clay McLeod Chapman vibrantly explore some of humanity's deepest shadows, but they also both embody a joy-fueled approach to all things that terrify them and us, offering a balance of spine-tingling images and soul-nurturing inspiration. Whether you're a hardcore fan of scary stories or someone who runs screaming at the thought of them, we'll gather around our sacred circle and explore how honestly befriending our fears just might transform us for the collective liberation work we're all called to do.

Sunday Service: Scared Sacred

This Sunday, as Halloween approaches, Micah will lift up a lifetime love of all things horror, sharing just how special spookiness has been to their faith, their creativity, and their enduringly radical hope. Even if you think you hate “horror” as a genre, we’ll dive into what our traditions tell us about fear, loneliness, and the potential power of connection and community to counter the continuing real-life horrors that surround us.

And if you’d like to play a little dress-up, our little ones will be doing a costume catwalk at the start of the service and all are free to join in the Halloween fun!

Sunday Service: Remembering Rev. Dr. Robert W. Spike

On the 60th anniversary of his murder, Judson remembers Bob Spike – one of its founding fathers (senior minister 1949-56), American civil rights hero and victim of a despicable homophobic police-led smear campaign. Joining the service will be Amb. Andrew J. Young, himself a legendary civil rights leader and one of Spike's closest colleagues in the 1960s. Inspiring freedom songs and prophetic words will lift our spirits as we celebrate a man whose courage and vision helped make our freedom-loving Judson community a living reality.

At the hour, Kia Islam will guide a groundation comprised of gentle sound, movement and breath, softening the body-mind vessel to receive the gospel — served in form of booty-shaking African music magic. Yawuza Alhassan & modrums will present a live hybrid Studio Simpa performance, celebrating the release of the compilation Studio Simpa: Digital Dance Music on VCD from Dagbon, Northern Ghana. Akanbi closes out the session with a DJ set. Really good music will be in abundance. Your presence in marking this special occasion is bigly required.

Judson Mystery School: Revelation

Please join us after church on October 11 for a discussion about the theological doctrine of revelation—not the biblical Book of Revelation, but the subject of how we receive knowledge through faith, or, using a more traditional formulation, how God discloses God’s self and God’s will to us. We’ll talk a bit about the role of Scripture in all this, as well as other possible sources of revelation, including nature, reason and contemplation. Some reading materials will be posted on the Judson Community Listserv soon, but you are always welcome to email Marc Falcone at mfalcone.nyc@gmail.com to request materials, ask questions, or make comments. See you!
