I Need You to Survive: Building Community
We aren’t where we once were AND we aren’t where we are going to be. This can feel disorienting and disturbing, but it can also energize us and strengthen us. We need each other to survive. God is in the midst of re-shaping and re-forming us as Journey at Christ Church. Our community is being re-shaped and re-formed by the Divine. As we get to know one another we build rapport, we build trust, and we establish connection and belonging. This takes time. “Yet, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.” Isaiah 64:8 This community that the Divine is calling us to be arises out of the main theme in the book of Ruth: חֶסֶד (chesed). This Hebrew word refers to “a loyalty or faithfulness arising from commitment.” Chesed is what we will be exploring in our upcoming sermon series, I Need You to Survive: Building Community. I wonder what God has in store… August 25 Week One: Community Arising out of Commitment September 1 Week Two: Community Arising Out of Loyalty and Faithfulness September 8 Week Three: We’re All In This Together |
statement of inclusion.
Journey at Christ Church is called to the ministry of reconciliation. We embrace, as a gift, the diversity of our neighborhood and the world. We celebrate our human diversity of age, education, ethnicity, faith history, gender identity, marital status, mental and physical ability, political view, race, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status.
We affirm that all people are created in the image of God, and, as beloved children of God, all are worthy of God’s love and grace. We welcome all people into participation in the life and ministries of Journey at Christ Church as we journey together toward Jesus.
We recognize that there are differences among us, but that we are more alike than we are different. We believe that we can love alike even though we may not think alike. We also believe that we are called to love each other, embracing our differences rather than excluding others because of them. We proclaim this statement of welcome to all who have known the pain of exclusion or discrimination in the church and society. We invite all people to join us in our faith journey toward greater love, understanding, and mutual respect.
