A note from Pastor Richard...
In preparing for our series: The Elephant in the Room, I have been so grateful for the counsel and perspective of Michelle Rader, our Lead Elder. As much reading, reflecting and listening to folks as I have tried to do, looking at issues and ideologies current in the LGBTQ community, Michelle has done more. And always with a Christ-centered grid. I have asked her to finish our series. Below is her thoughts on this weekend:
This week will be Part 4 of our series, The Elephant in the Church. This series has raised a lot of questions for a lot of people - probably more questions than answers for many. We will conclude the series by considering how Jesus responded to a question - “Who is My Neighbor?” - and how he turned that question around. Jesus has a habit of taking our questions and giving different answers than we might expect - always with the goal of expanding our understanding of God, His Kingdom, and who is included in it.
