Juneteenth marks the day that the last enslaved Texans, after 2 years of emancipation, learned of their freedom on June 19, 1865. It is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Today Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. #Juneteenth

Sylvester and Brian are proud to have recently opened bank accounts. When you're homeless, that means no home address and often no driver's license or other identification, which means you can't open up a bank account.

A recording of our inclusionary housing educational event is now available at the link below! We gave an overview of what inclusionary housing policy means and how it addresses the affordable housing crisis. Our special guest in Part Two was Rick Jacobus, one of the nation’s leading experts on the subject. He laid out in careful detail how inclusionary housing policies work in cities like ours and why they represent the best path forward. Essential viewing for all Cincinnati residents!

Whose is this day to celebrate?
Now that Juneteenth is a national holiday, jubilee is at the forefront. Yet, today there are more African American men in prison or jail, on probation or parole than were enslaved in 1850. As a majority white community, we’re committing to study coupled with action, on Juneteenth and all year long.
We’ve created a series of nineteen emails featuring Black activists, artists, leaders, and more. Over the next nineteen days, you’ll receive challenging content and context each day. And, we’ll be in touch occasionally after these nineteen days, too; because learning isn’t finite, and because action is imperative.
We hope that you’ll join us —and spread the word— as we seek justice together: https://ophope.org/juneteenth/

Happy Pentecost and Happy Pride!
In today's sermon Pastor Brian offered a call to dream through the Holy Spirit what could be possible for our ministry together, rather than just look to the past. Worship with us through our recording of worship found below. All are welcome!

This week, we launched our newest station Messer at W Court in the southern part of the West End. The Station is sponsored by our friends at Messer Construction Co. This is a pic of Messer President and CEO Tim Steigerwald getting interviewed about why Messer thought it was important to help bring this station to the West End.
We launched the station during the Juneteenth Parade, which was also on West Court St. And we had some fun friends ride Red Bikes in the parade.
