This Sunday at Peace

This Sunday will be a treat—ice cream after service for those in the room, and the chance to hear more from our Associate Pastor, Catherine Stark-Corn.

In a “dialogue sermon,” we’ll reflect on the traditions that formed us and nurtured our open-minded, open-hearted faith.

Some of us were fortunate to grow up in a church that was intentional about nurturing one another and creating a world of justice and peace for all. For those, church was a safe place to question, to give and receive comfort, to challenge unjust structures.

But, some of us came from a church that was dogmatic, punitive, even wounding.

And, some of us came to Peace with little faith experience.

So, wherever we came from, how do we keep growing? What are the processes and practices that help us gain:

• A sense of infinite love, self-worth, acceptance;

• A generous heart for others;

• A passionate intolerance for anything that dehumanizes God’s people

Hope to see you this Sunday as we offer a blessing to our students (and teachers), connect with one another, and build our own ice cream sundaes!

Holly and Catherine
