This week, we'll hear from the Rev. Jessica Vazquez-Torres, Program Director at Crossroads Antiracism Organizing & Training as she talks about Jubilee and the celebration of radical forgiveness. Even though the summer festivals aren’t happening on the streets, it doesn’t mean we can’t still celebrate Chicago Pride! Whether you are in or out, #trans or #cis, whatever color or flavor you are on the rainbow, there is a place for you at Urban Village Church.

UVC (Rev. Mashaun Simon) 06-21-20 Every one is worth celebrating.

Even though the summer festivals aren’t happening on the streets, it doesn’t mean we can’t still celebrate Chicago Pride! Whether you are in or out, #trans or #cis, whatever color or flavor you are on the rainbow, there is a place for you at Urban Village Church.

UVC (Hannah Kardon) 07-5-20 The nature of grace offered by God

Grace, and the ongoing process of sanctification that happens when we allow grace to shape our lives, are at the heart of our faith and our relationship with God. This Sunday, Pastor Hannah invites us to understand the nature of what grace is and how it is a gift offered to each one of us by God.

UVC (Chan Ik Choi)07-12-20 The presence of God waiting to be discovered

As we continue to explore the process of growing in God’s grace (aka “sanctification”), we start with prevenient grace – the presence of God waiting to be discovered. Join us this Sunday at 10:30AM, on Facebook and YouTube (www.youtube.com/c/urbanvillagechurch) as we continue to explore what sanctification is, how to pursue it, and most of all, what God’s grace can really mean for you!
