A Sent Community: Giving Freely 

This midsummer worship series will find us leaning into the challenges and the joys of being a Christ-centered community sent into the world to serve with love and generosity. The lectionary readings for July lead us to explore the Biblical threads of “sentness” and dependence upon God as we go out into the world. The sending of God is always to service. As we are sent, we are called to trust in the providence of God and those around us. The world is a treacherous place. Evil, injustice, and oppression are expressed in many forms. We are called to resist in love, by love, and for love as we are sent out in Jesus’ name. As we share God’s love we thrive when we commit ourselves to an abundant God and live as citizens of God’s reign.   

After Worship this week, we want to honor and celebrate our Outreach Team Ministry (it’s a big one), so stop by after church and learn how you can get involved in the many teams this ministry has. Make sure to check the insert in this bulletin for more detailed information and a form you can fill out.
