From Sunday:
Our "I Love My Church" series explores how giving shows our love for the community of people in our church. One of the things we hope to learn from the early church is how they understood that taking care of one another - the members of their church community--could make their witness to Jesus more real and more understandable to others. They understood that people would see the importance of Jesus in their lives by the way they both gave to others and how the members of the church took care of one another.
We are really good at reaching out and helping others, but are we taking care of one another like the early church did?

En Agape',  
Rev. Michael Weeks

The Reconciliation Special Offering is used to fund our Church's mission imperative to become a pro-reconciling and anti-racist church utilizing  experiential education, inclusive worship and intentional dialogue. Our efforts to promote healing, relationship and restoration in the whole family of God are enlivened by funds from this offering. Through it we are able to provide programs for leadership development, curriculum for dialogue and learning, and partnerships within the Church and our communities.
