Spiritual Tip for the Week:

This was sent to me…I hope this thought is a blessing to you.-Rev. Paul 

Written by Najah Drakes 

I know who I am.  As a divine being, planned, designed and molded by God, I know that God is my divinely appointed skycap.  God is waiting for me to stop carrying and tranferring the baggage of my past into my present and future.  Whether something  happened 5 minutes or 5 years ago, I will no longer allow that which I cannot change weigh down the liberty that is waiting for me in this moment.  Today, I choose to answer "Yes" to God as God asks, "Can I take those bags for you."  I am rewriting the luggage tags of my past to permanently transfer ownership from my name to God’s.  I am ready to drop off insecurity, hurt, pain and pride so that I can make room to carry God’s confidence, love, peace and healing, the only question that remains is will I let God do God’s job.

Prayer:

Thank you for the purpose the pain of my past has served in fortifying my perseverance, maturity and strength.  Help me to see Your divine hand at work in all and through all.  In Jesus holy name, Amen.   

10 AM Pride Sunday Worship with Rainbow Balloon Release

Our pride service “celebrating who we are as children of God” will be at 10:00 am Sunday July 6. The service starts one hour earlier to allow everyone to either march in the parade or attend the festival activities. The service will have some great music, an empowering message and our annual rainbow balloon release. 

Yes, following the service everyone will gather on the parking lot to release messages of love to the world attached to rainbow balloons filled with helium.

Invite your friends to join you for this service as a kick off to the days festivities.
