Welcome to the Congregational United Church of Christ

Detroit Lakes, Minnesota

June 11 scriptures are:
Mark 5: 24-34 & 2 Corinthians 12: 2-10

In one of these passages, a woman seeking healing receives it by reaching out and touching Jesus' clothes.  In the other, Paul prays three times to have his physical ailment healed, without receiving healing.  Taken together, these stories invite us to consider our belief that prayer is powerful, worthwhile, and difference-making and also our knowledge that nobody (not even a Biblical figure) gets everything that they pray for.  We'll look at how Christians in the past have thought about these intersecting realities and how healing touches the ground in our own lives.

June 18 scriptures (Happy Father's Day!) are:
Matthew 22: 34-40 & Romans 13: 8-10


Jesus says that love is the most important commandment of all.  If you are loving God, loving your neighbor, and loving yourself, you are doing a good job of following the law.  He also says this in a surprisingly straightforward way.  Doesn't answer a question with a question.  Doesn't go straight into a parable.  It suggests that this teaching was central to how he wanted people to understand his ministry, how he wanted his followers to think of their faith, and probably wasn't even all that threatening to the powers that be.  So we can put it at the center of our faith lives as well.

​"No matter who you are
or where you are on life's journey,
​you are welcome here!"
