Wednesday Lectionary Lunch: Each Wednesday from 12-1 pm in the Pullen Library
The idea for the Lectionary Lunch began years ago with our former pastor, Mahan Siler. Every Wednesday at noon, Mahan would meet in the library with anyone who wanted to discuss the lectionary passage for the upcoming Sunday. People were invited to bring a bag lunch and join the conversation. Pastor Nancy has continued the tradition, except for a pause during the pandemic.
During this Wednesday hour, participants will read the text together. Then, Pastor Nancy will provide any background information on the text, share her thoughts on the text, and open the floor for discussion.
The Lectionary Lunch is not a weekly commitment. You can come every week, or just whenever your schedule allows. Please join this gathering to share knowledge, experience, resources, and insights!

Do Justice: Each Thursday from 12:15-12:55 pm on Zoom
Since the November 5 election, the most frequent question our ministerial team has been asked is: What are we going to do? In search of an answer -- or, perhaps, the start of an answer -- we have returned to scripture, particularly the prophetic demands of Micah 6:8. Above all, our community will continue to do justice.
Join Rev. Ian for weekly Zoom calls during the lunch hour. We will gather to center ourselves and lift up opportunities for justice work in our community. Grab your lunch, log in, and be inspired and equipped for our collective pursuit of justice love.
Please email Ian McPherson for the Zoom link.

2025 Finlator Lecture Series: April 4—7-9 pm; April 5—10 am-1:30 pm in Finlator Hall
Pullen’s annual Finlator Lecture Series is named after the late William Wallace Finlator, former pastor of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church. Pastor Finlator is remembered for speaking boldly and prophetically on the issues of his day.
This year’s series features Dr. Sarah Azaransky, Associate Professor of Social Ethics at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. Over two days, she will lecture on the themes of her most recent book, and facilitate a community conversation and panel discussion. You can read Dr. Azaransky’s biography here.
Schedule of Events
Book Talk and Reception
Friday, April 4 -- 7-9 pm in Finlator Hall
Dr. Sarah Azaransky will discuss her latest book, This Worldwide Struggle: Religion and the International Roots of the Civil Rights Movement. It identifies a network of Black Christian intellectuals and activists who looked abroad (including in other religious traditions) for ideas and practices that could transform American democracy. From the 1930s to the 1950s, they drew lessons from independence movements around the world for an American racial justice campaign. The book reveals fertile intersections of worldwide resistance movements, American racial politics, and interreligious exchanges that crossed literal borders and disciplinary boundaries.
A reception will follow the lecture. There is no cost to attend this event.
Community Conversation, Interreligious Panel, and Lunch
Saturday. April 5 -- 10 am-1:30 pm in Finlator Hall
Dr. Azaransky will offer some reflections. An interfaith panel will follow. The discussion will center on how our movements for justice today might draw from the spiritual wisdom of the ancestors in Dr. Azaransky’s work -- including Bayard Rustin, Pauli Murray, Howard Thurman, and Martin Luther King Jr.
This cost for lunch on Saturday is $10. You can pay a discounted price of $5, or you can sponsor a lunch for $15.

Palm Sunday: April 13 at 10:45 am, starting at the Gregg Museum (1903 Hillsborough St., Raleigh)

If you would like to join the procession of palms, please gather in front of the Gregg Museum at 10:45 am.

Maundy Thursday Dinner and Service: April 17
5:30 pm—Dinner in Finlator Hall
6:30 pm—Service of Communion in Poteat Chapel
Before facing the worst day of his life, Jesus chooses to share a final meal with those he loved. He washes his disciples feet as an expression of this love, and admonishes them to love and serve one another. As we share a simple meal, followed by a service of communion, we remember that being in a loving community helps us to get through hard times.

Good Friday Labyrinth Walk: April 18 from 10 am–2 pm in the Chapel

Resurrection Sunday: April 20
Baptism—9 am in Finlator Hall
Worship—11 am in the Sanctuary
As sightings of the resurrected Christ turn the disciples’ grief into wonder, we, too, turn our attention from the death-dealing systems of our world to the places where God’s Spirit is raising up new life and new energy, turning the world toward justice-love. At 9 am, we will celebrate new life through the waters of baptism. At 11 am, we will ring our bells at the sound of our alleluias to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus, and inaugurate resurrection in our own time.

Conscious Aging Series: April 23 and May 21 at 11:30 am in Finlator Hall
We’re all aging and experiencing the changes that come with it. But in a youth-obsessed culture, there are marked differences between aging into one’s so-called “prime” and aging beyond it. This series is an opportunity to challenge the cultural conventions around “the prime of life,” get real about what aging looks like in the last decades of our lives, and make some conscious decisions about how we will live. We will exchange ideas through facilitated conversation and offer resources as we better understand our collective needs. Mark your calendar for the next conversations in this series.
April 23, 2025 -- The Evolution of Faith and Spiritual Practice
How does faith and one’s practice of it evolve over time, and what practices sustain us into our latter years? This discussion will be led by Rachael Wooten, Jungian analyst and Tibetan Buddhist teacher, and Rachel Smith, former chaplain and healing touch practitioner.
May 21, 2025 -- Building a Third Act Village
Gretchen Staebler joins us online for an intergenerational conversation about how we build communities that sustain us later in life. Gretchen Staebler is a former Pullen staff member and author of Mother Lode: Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver.

Two Cans, Every Sunday
When you grocery shop, buy two extra cans of food and bring them to church on Sunday as your expression of gratitude for having enough to eat. Place the cans in the grocery cart at the Finlator door, and the Pullen Mission Women will take them to Urban Ministries where they will provide groceries to families in need. If enough of us make this a habit, we can have a significant impact in reducing the hunger in our midst. Thank you for your generosity!

This group will explore Alice Loyd’s new book, Collapse-Able: Three handbooks for living now and later. The book can be purchased here, but you need not have read the book to participate in the conversation.
A longtime Pullenite and founding leader of what is now called our Earth Ministry group, Alice recently completed this legacy project and saw it to publication before her death. Her powerful book provides timely wisdom that equips us "to thrive in present conditions as well as in a period of greater environmental and economic distress."
The first week of this Sunday Group will feature a conversation with the book's editor (and Alice's daughter), Laurie Cone. The following three weeks will provide deep engagement in the book's core themes -- spiritual strength, communal social skills, and practical knowledge to help us prepare for the world ahead.

Civil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know — A Book Study: April 6, 13, 27; May 4, 11, 18 from 9:30–10:30 in Room 310
Civil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know (2021) is the most recent book by Erica Chenoweth, an expert in nonviolent civil resistance. Chenoweth has spent nearly 20 years studying the history of mass movements that have affected change, without using violence or the threat of violence against people. This most recent book, in their own words, “summarizes some of the main takeaways from history about the ways that civil resistance campaigns have formed, strategized, organized and mobilized.”
Five thematic chapters address the most common questions Chenoweth hears — including what civil resistance is, how it works, and how violence that emerges from within and against nonviolent movements affects them. Join Amy Marschal (who is not an expert in civil resistance) to read the book and learn. Amy will offer summaries of the chapters and facilitate discussion.

Pullen-Wiley Partnership Tutoring Opportunity
Pullen and Wiley Elementary School have enjoyed a long partnership (since 2001) that has provided Wed. after-school tutoring to support students who needed an extra academic boost. The pandemic interrupted the program abruptly when the schools turned to virtual learning in early 2020. This fall, volunteers are again being welcomed in schools, so we have an opportunity to consider restarting the tutoring program at Pullen on Wednesdays.
WCPSS is partnering with the YMCA to provide the HELPS tutor training program, targeted to improve reading fluency. This is the area that has been determined to be the greatest area of need to help students recover from the learning losses they have experienced. The YMCA has agreed to include our volunteers in the training which will take place in October.
