Reflection from your Co-pastors

July 20, 2020

Micah 6: 8

Matthew's Gospel 12: 38-42

Recently, our 3 congregations read the joint statement written by the social and ecological justice ministries addressing racism as a human justice concern.

This tri-church ministry was moved by love to compose this statement and looked first to today's passage from Micah 6:8, "and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God."

As a result of the joint efforts of these ministries, we are in the process of designing some banners that could display our support for our black brothers and sisters using this quote from Micah.

And while we are considering this project, the Gospel reading for today is entitled "The Demand for a Sign."

Have you ever doubted that God has a sense of humor?

So... more information on our new "signs" will be coming soon! For the three-church Social and Ecological Justice Anti-Racism statement see July 16th announcements.
