Welcome to The Congregational United Church of Christ

No matter who you are Dear Friends,
I hope to see you as we gather in worship this Sunday, October 13. Among other things, I've been thinking about next month's Immigration Forum (It's November 17 --you'll be hearing more about this very soon). I can't help but think about this as I wrestle with this Sunday's Gospel lesson -- Luke 17:11-19. It's a story familiar to most of us. Jesus heals ten people of dreaded skin diseases and only one comes back to thank him. Jesus encounters all kinds of people in his journeys, crossing many "borders" as he travels. Those who are outsiders, outcasts, and at the lowest end of the social structure get special attention from him. Maybe this lesson from Luke 17 highlights the kind of relationships to which we are called by God, the kind God wants us to establish among ourselves. Maybe. For lack of a better idea at the moment, I'm calling the sermon Borders. In addition, our Band will lead us in a couple terrific songs and The Congo Brass will join us to provide the anthem and much more. I hope you'll join us. ~ Rev. Mark |
