Sunday, July 3, 10:15 a.m.
Be very sure now, you who have been trained to a self-sufficient maturity, that you enter into a generous common life with those who have trained you, sharing all the good things that you have and experience.
from Galatians 6:1-10 (The Message)
What do the United Church of Christ and the United States of America have in common? Many things, starting with those plucky Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock. But perhaps the most interesting similarity is represented by the word that appears in both of their names: “United.” We are a church made of many faith traditions coming together as one. And we are a country made of many peoples coming together as one. So what is it that unites us? What is the “common life” that Paul speaks of in the passage from Galatians? Join us this Fourth of July weekend as Pastor Curt preaches the common good, and what we’ve sown as a nation, for good and for bad, that is now coming to harvest.
