“Do not remember the former things or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” – Isaiah 43:18-19

This year’s theme for General Synod was Making All Things New and this Sunday we were privileged to hear about message and work being done from some of our own honored members who were able to attend.

The 34th General Synod of the United Church of Christ met June 30 – July 4 in Indianapolis, IN. Delegates and associate delegates honored ecumenical and international guests, visitors, and Conference and National Setting staff gathered for this historically biennial event.

For eight weeks, Pastor David will be leading us through a series based on the book Love Matters More by Jared Byas, where we will delve into "how fighting to be right keeps us from loving like Jesus."

"For years, Christians have argued, debated, and fought one another while 'speaking the truth in love,' yet we are no closer to the grace-filled life Jesus modeled." In this series, we will remember God's central message in the Bible, living out our truths in love first and foremost to follow Jesus.

We hope this eight-week series reminds us that as Christians we are called to look past "who is right to a love that matters more."
