Why Come to Church Martin Luther King Sunday?

Why Come to Church this Sunday?

Weekly Meditation Text: “Lord you have searched me out; O Lord, you have known me.”

To consider how God’s love compels us to create the beloved community! The church is to exemplify a beloved community, based in intimate “knowing” of ourselves and others, mutual respect, and compassion. And we have few better mentors than The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He is one of the great lovers, described in James Fowler’s stages of faith, as a person of universalizing faith.  (http://www.exploring-spiritual-development.com/JamesFowlersStages.html). Come to a beloved community, to help one another grow in insight, justice, and radical love. Sunday school class will design pinwheels for peace, to which the adult parishioners will contribute. Rachel Stampul will update us on her ministry to create the next generation of peacemakers.

Blessings, Pr. Nancy
