Who Are We?

Recently, our church launched a new brand logo -- an outward symbol of something much deeper: our shared identity as a Christian community of faith. But what does that identity truly mean? What does it include? And how does it shape the way we live each day?

Join Pastor Brian from April 28–May 17 for a new worship series, Who We Are, as we explore these questions together. Through scripture and reflection, we’ll be reminded of who God calls us to be, and encouraged to live more fully into that calling as we move together into God’s future for us.

            April 28 - Remember… (Revelation 2:1-7                                                and 1 Peter 4:8-10)

            May 2 - Gratitude (1 Peter 4:8-10                                                            and 1 Chronicles 16:8-13)

            May 9 - Compassion (1 Peter 4:8-10                                                        and Luke 10:29-37)

            May 17 - Service (1 Peter 4:8-10                                                                and Matthew 25:31-40)

He Came Singing Love

“Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; There you will see him, just as he told you” (Mark 16:6-7).

Just as we read in Mark’s account of the resurrection, inherent in the message of Easter itself is the call to each of us to “go and tell” others that “[Jesus] is going ahead of us” and will meet us wherever we are and through whatever we experience in life, good or bad.  In the words of an anonymous Christian poet,...

“He came singing love. 

 He lived singing love. 

 He died singing love.

 He arose in silence. 

 If the song is to continue,

 WE must do the singing.”

You see, as glorious and joyful as our celebrations of Easter are, we’re not supposed to keep the good news of Jesus’ resurrection and life to ourselves.  Instead, we’re to share it with others through our words, our deeds, and our care. 

I invite you to join me this Easter season as we not only celebrate our risen Savior, but also as we share that good news with others: our friends, our relatives, our neighbors, workmates, and schoolmates.  Remember, God loves you and I do, too!
