PEACE WITH JUSTICE SUNDAY
The United Methodist Church uses this day to speak out for peace and justice. Our Social Principles call us to love our enemies, seek justice, and serve as peacemakers in resolving conflict. We renew our commitment that to live into our mission of transforming the world, we must prioritize collaboration among nations, work to reduce the use and need for weapons, and foster just, equitable and durable solutions to the root causes of conflict. Contributions support programs that witness to God’s demands for a faithful, just, disarmed, and secure world.
THANK YOU
Thank you to all the volunteers that helped our church with hosting the Celebration of Life in Ministry Service last week. We received many compliments on our friendliness and our hospitality. We couldn’t host these events without you, our church family, so thank you! We appreciate you!
