Just a Word . . .
From our Pastors
February is here, and that means Anniversary and Valentine’s Day, this year, are on the same day!
Our theme this year is “Love Wins.” We think that is a good summary of what we have stood for over the last 26th years of SunCoast MCC’s amazing story. We are the evidence, the proof, that God’s love wins – in our hearts, in our church, in our communities, in our world.
Even on the days it does not seem like it, love is at work, sometimes underground, beneath the surface. Think of all the years we protested for Marriage Equality, on Valentine’s Day, asking for marriage licenses and being denied! Now, that seems like ages ago. . .
In the short term, it may seem like justice is a lost cause, or that we have lost our way, but God has a way of finding us, and bringing us back to our mission!
Many great leaders have shared some version of the quote, “The moral arc of the Universe bends towards justice.” It does not bend automatically, though -- it requires that as followers of a God of love, we do our part to join in bending it some more.
Let’s bend the arc in this our 26th year, as we “keep on moving forward, never turning back!”
Love, Grace and Peace,
Rev. Vickie and Rev. Nancy
