How is church different from the MFA?
There are actually many similarities. Both bring us to another world, the fifth dimension. Both inspire us with the beauty of art. Both preserve our cultural heritage and grow it at the same time. Both educate and prompt insights for living. Both are voluntary destinations, people go when they want or not. But church holds us closer, brings people together over periods of time to keep learning as the world changes. The Church has a single prism for learning, namely, Christ, in whose light we try to see ourselves. Peter Senge famously taught us about the learning organization–we think of church as a learning community, always learning more about what it means to be human, learning how to be mutually supportive. Church upholds an ethic, a good life instead of the good life. One more thing: at church you experience the one live moment in a whole week–living words and words for living. We are marked by our church life. To enter is to experience joy and peace. So enter this Sunday, rejoice and find peace. RevRick Vertical Divider

Our prayer for Ukraine:O God, in our shock, dismay and disbelief, we lift up to you the people of Ukraine now undergoing this criminal assault upon them and upon world order. Strengthen their spirit and resistance.
Reward all who support them. Give guidance to our President and all world leaders in measuring the protective steps available. All this, O God, and also for those who can only watch and wait in a world already beset with calamity and anxiety. In the name of Christ, the Prince of Peace, we pray. Amen. |
