Worship 10:00 AM
(begins at 10 AM or shortly thereafter)
Sermon:
Make It Good
Within the slog and exhaustion of pandemic difficulties, ask how God today might use this opportunity for good. Not that God caused the evil, but that the evil can be repurposed for good.
The Joseph story reminds us that the “now” is not forever, and that inevitable twists and turns are ahead of us. But God still is in control. God loves and cares for us.
- Daniel D. Maurer

Stand against injustice and with the wronged We believe….that God has revealed himself as the one who wishes to bring about justice and true peace among people...that the church must therefore stand by people in any form of suffering and need, which implies, among other things, that the church must witness against and strive against any form of injustice, so that justice may roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream...that the church as the possession of God must stand where the Lord stands, namely against injustice and with the wronged that in following Christ the church must witness against all the powerful and privileged who selfishly seek their own interests and thus control and harm others. (from The Belhar Confession) To bear witness to the gospel of Christ is why we exist as a church. We have been reminded over these last months that the church is not a building but rather the people of God set apart by the Holy Spirit through our Lord Jesus Christ. As our country is embroiled in a fight for its very soul, we are reminded that our mission will not be found in the buildings to which we are returning. Our Reformed tradition has had to reckon with its own complicity in supporting racial injustice in South Africa, so I believe we are doubly obligated to work for racial justice in our own country and time. Below are some online resources and we encourage you to share these with your congregations. From the Reformed Church in America... Anti-racism Resources for White People... More Anti-racism Resources... From the Christian Reformed Church...
