The Lord has given us everything we need.

(2 Peter 1:3)

Again, not in anything the individual believer has done; the power comes from the knowledge we receive about Jesus by his own calling of us. Just as Jesus taught Nicodemus (John 3) that the new life found in God (“being born again”) was something to be received rather than achieved, here 2 Peter teaches us that our capability to live holy lives is something we receive from God’s gracious hand alone. To the growing Christian community living under the oppressive hand of the Roman Empire, battered by persecution and ostracism, this teaching probably came as a source of great relief and grace. Though they might be poor, enslaved, women, eunuchs, un-educated, politically powerless, or otherwise marginalized persons, the Kin-dom outposts of the 1st and 2nd century had the only resource they actually needed to live in a Godly way - the divine power of the Lord. The Kin-dom of God, after all, was manifest wherever Jesus was among his people.

"Everybody, Always" Sunday School Class

Facilitated by Mike Merz

Begins July 9

This five-week series will offer space to engage in prayerful conversation around our Broadway one read. Five Sundays starting July 9 during the 9:00 am discipleship hour.

Members of Mission and Outreach Ministry have been talking about the wonderful work Julian Jackman is doing with the inner city youth ever since an article in the April 14 issue of COMO Magazine. Linda Smith spoke with Julian and he agreed to attend our meeting this month to share about the summer camp that his P.E.A.C.E. organization was involved in. As Julian informed us in the most recent Sacred Conversation, "it takes a village", so he has joined with four other agencies to create Unity in Community and offer positive summer experiences for youth needing support.

Because children who display behavior issues are suffering from trauma, Julian is getting to the root cause and offering nurturing and healing experiences that teach children to respect adults, their friends, but especially themselves. Julian even named it, Camp I Love Me. The camp meets Monday-Friday from 7:30-4:00 at Progressive Baptist Church and will go through August 11. Did you know the average age of children in Juvenile Detention is 12 years old? The children at Camp I Love Me are ages 5-17 and bussed in from all over our community.

Even at the amazing price of $30/week, many families cannot afford the camp. Fortunately, a grant provided funds to cover the cost for 50 children, but there are 85 attending. Touched by how Julian is making a difference in the lives of so many youths in our community, the members at M.O.M wanted to provide scholarships for the other 35 children. Now instead of Julian calling families to ask for tuition for the camp, he can call with good news, “it’s covered!” Through grants and good will in our community, children have a place to go and learn, eat nutritious meals and be loved during the day while their parents are at work.

Julian also needs volunteers who can spend time with the kids from 11-1:00 so teachers can have a break. I went this week and had a wonderful time. They anticipate even more children attending when summer school ends at the public schools, so there are plenty of opportunities available to let the children in Columbia know they are loved and cared for. You can reach Julian at church or at 573-639 5112. I wanted you to know about the good work your donations, Broad Love, and Broad Reach.
