So Jesus called them and said to them, “You know that among the gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. But it is not so among you; instead, whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be servant of all. For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many.” Mark 10:42-25 (NRSVUE)

Broad Reach – We embody the reach of Christ through love and service to all. As Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant." Join us this week as we share what it means to have #broadreach and to learn more from a special presentation from Partners for Care.

This Sunday also includes special music from our guest presenters and a special VBS youth performance.

You're Invited to a Movie Night

Tomorrow evening, Friday July 14th, First Christian Church is showing Jordyn Zimmerman’s documentary “This is Not About Me,” a retelling of her self-advocacy work as an autistic woman using assistive communication technologies. Continue the dialogue after the movie with local self-advocates sharing more about their stories and work.

This is hosted in a church space which is designed as a small movie theater (elevator access, ADA compliant bathrooms on every floor, nearby sensory-friendly space); if you have questions on physical access, please email topher@firstchristian.org.

This space is alcohol-free, but we encourage you to bring whatever snacks and drinks you’d like! We will have the popcorn machine going, as well.

Any congregation who is represented will get an advance copy of an easy-read version of the research report “Re-Framing Church Through the Lens of Autism” (via the Center for Autism and Theology at the University of Aberdeen).

Special Guest Presentation this Sunday:

Thank you

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the P.E.A.C.E. organization, I would like to personally thank you for your generous donation of $10,000 on 6/26/2023. Because of your support, you are ensuring that the P.E.A.C.E. organization will be able to provide support scholarships and activities for Camp I Love Me this summer.

Thanks again for your donation to peace and for supporting our mission. Our mission is to bring individuals to an understanding about the consequences of negative choices and behaviors that will lead them to prison or death. Peace will utilize several programs from within the organization to effectively help with our mission at hand.

We are a new and growing organization and with your support we will continue to help our community and grow!

Sincerely, Julian Jackman
