SUMMARY:Graduation Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Sunday at 10:00 am in-person or online for worship. This Sunday is Graduation Sunday\, a day when we celebrate those who have completed a step in their educational journey. Let’s honor their efforts and commitment. \nHear these words from Bishop Karen Oliveto of Mountain Sky Conference of the United Methodist Church. Bishop Oliveto is the first openly gay\, and married bishop of the denomination. “ \nWe humans see the image of God as through a mirror dimly (I Corinthians 13: 12). God is so much bigger than our limited comprehension. The God who created the world in all its diverse flourishings has imprinted on each human God’s own image. The more we encounter and enter into relationship with each other\, the deeper we look into each other’s eyes\, the clearer God’s image emerges. We gain a bigger picture of who God is\, particularly when we include those who don’t look like us\, think like us\, or love like us \nThere are people of all ages in your community who are looking for a grace-filled community that allows them to ask questions\, to be able to take tentative and shaky steps to explore who God made them to be\, to find themselves in a community who will cheer them on when they do so. Will you and your church be that community?  \nLet me tell you: there is amazing joy waiting for you if you are willing to do so. For wherever there is new life\, whenever someone says yes to being their full God-created self\, when someone is finally able to proclaim out loud to God “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made” the angels sing and the saints dance.”  \nLet us share the peace of Christ with one another today\, and as we do so\, may we truly see one another for the image of God each one bears.
