Dear Friends,
Self-giving, selfless, and unconditional love is one of the core values of our Christian faith and humanity. We witness this core value being tested and challenged by an aggressive, self-serving capitalistic attitude that prioritizes profit over every other human need—our need for compassion, justice, relationships, fairness, and the well-being of all.
It is our prayer that we are not consumed by the darkness of the world but continue to pray and follow Jesus and his Spirit faithfully.
This Sunday, we celebrate Communion—a sacred time to gather in unity and reflect on Jesus’ profound sacrifice and love. The Mission and Outreach Committee has invited a special guest from LOFT to share about the important community work their organization is doing. This will take place in place of the sermon. A short homily will be given during the opening part of the Communion invitation. Following the service, the Craft Club is hosting a lunch to raise funds for the church’s sound and A/V system.
We are looking forward to a wonderful Family Night on February 22. Please sign up in the church hall so we know how many to plan for!
May this Sunday’s worship be an opportunity for personal renewal and for strengthening our connection with one another in the body of Christ.
May God bless you throughout the month ahead. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
—Rev. Chuck Moon
