Tune in as they discuss the profound impact this project has on the lives of inmates in Monticello, UT, encouraging others to join in prison ministry and inspiring inmates to participate in a variety of service-oriented activities, like crafting charming stuffed animals and dolls for police to offer to children when responding to domestic violence situations.

In the latest episode of the Utah Epodcopalians podcast, Deacon Libby Hunter led an enlightening discussion on the intersection of faith and political advocacy. With the Legislature set to start on Tuesday, this timely episode delves into thought-provoking topics into how our faith calls us to champion the needs of the marginalized in our community. 
On January 18th, there will be an opportunity to advocate for those facing hunger and homelessness: the Faith and Advocacy Coalition meeting is scheduled at 10:00 a.m. at the Capitol Board Room. This important gathering, sponsored by the Crossroads Urban Center, will focus on addressing the critical issues. Given the extremely limited parking availability, we strongly recommend taking Bus 200 to the Capitol, which is free of charge. This is a pivotal opportunity for Utah Episcopalians to engage in meaningful dialogue and action towards social justice and community support.

Craig Wirth is joined by The Rev. Kurt Wiesner of St. Paul's Salt Lake City in a discussion about the significance of a service known as “Blue Christmas” or “The Longest Night.” These ceremonies acknowledge the reality that amidst the festive celebrations of the season, some individuals reflect upon feelings of sorrow, loss, or other “blue” emotions. Join us in this special episode of Utah Epodcopalians as we explore the profound importance of these services, emphasizing the comforting presence of God during our moments of struggle.
