Pastor Sarah's Theme for Sunday, July 28th

Pastor Sarah's Theme for this Sunday, July 28th 

             Jesus promised he would build his church with us, God’s people as the unlikely materials.  The church is the fulcrum on which the formation and transformation of the world takes place.  This comes to pass through the unusual methods of work, witness and worship. 

            When we witness to Jesus, we tell the story made real in healing, justice, death and new life.  Stories, especially the good ones, shouldn’t stay in a book or the tip of our tongue. They inspire and shape people when we share them, and the story of Jesus is like any other.

Pastor Sarah's Theme for this Sunday:

Jesus promised he would build his church.  Jesus was the incarnation of God that could make such a claim. And then he chose unlikely materials for that church.  Now, through the church and with Christ’s vision and power, we are called to the unusual methods that make God’s message and presence real in the world. Work of mission and compassion is the first way we partner with God in cultivating peace and healing in the world.

Theme for This Sunday's Worship

            When Jesus said, “I will build my church," he chose unlikely materials. Such materials include you and me and the many other souls that are flawed, dismissed, outcast, from the wrong tribe, or simply a human. But Jesus did not just use these materials because he ran out of better choices. He chose with intentionality to enable God’s people to be a blessing, recognize the real purpose of God, and claim their inheritance and God’s beloved children.

That's Pastor Sarah's Theme for this Sunday's Worship Service.  See you there!

A prayer for Independence Day

Lord God Almighty, You have made all the peoples of the earth for Your glory, to serve You in freedom and in peace: Give to the people of our country a zeal for justice and the strength of forbearance, that we may use our liberty in accordance with Your gracious will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

(Book of Common Prayer, p. 258, public domain)

Patrick Henry

Ratifier of the U.S. Constitution

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."
