We are God’s well-loved children! We are young, not-so young, married, single, in partnerships, widows, and widowers. We are ethnically, racially, politically, socially, economically, and theologically diverse, and we love each other! We like to say that we are blessed to be a blessing! We use who we are to build relationships with each other and the neighbors around us.
Welcome to First Church! Today we give thanks for God’s steadfast love and hear again the call to stand firm in the Lord. Amid the distractions and anxieties of life, Scripture calls us to seek what is true, practice justice and kindness, rejoice in God’s goodness, and trust in the peace of Christ. Whoever you are and wherever you are on the journey, there is a place for you here. May our worship strengthen us to live the love of Christ.
We are grateful to Elder Julian Wells for serving as our guest preacher today. Julian leads our Christian Education Committee and co-teaches Coffee and the Word. Thank you, Julian, for sharing your gifts with us! Pastor Julie is away today and will return this week.
