WEEKLY UPDATES
Dear Genevans,
"We are the World" was a big hit song a few years ago. I bet you can sing the chorus right now. It's lyrics proclaimed: We are the world / We are the children / We are the ones who make a brighter day /So let's start giving As we celebrate "World Communion Sunday" this Sunday, it invites us to remember our oneness as human beings. We are all children of the world, all part of the human race - the only "race" that matters - and that we are also called to be in unity with God's creation. As we strive to recognize the amazing beauty of this we will share the bread and cup with our fellow children of the world, as people who are "one in Christ." As we give ourselves to one another, and to the purposes of Christ we will be the ones to make a "brighter day." I hope you will join us in worship Sunday as we remember and honor "World Communion Sunday" together.
-Dr. Bruce Havens, Interim PastorMusic Notes
Some of the most meaningful moments in worship happen when an entire congregation joins together in a familiar hymn. Individual voices become one shared expression of faith, reminding us that the Church is strongest when worship is offered together. We hope you'll be with us this Sunday as we continue that beautiful tradition.
