"A Pilgrim State of Mind" Sunday Service with Reverend Rod

Welcome to Neighborhood Congregational Church's series on Progressive Christianity:

What is Progressive Christianity? Inquire Within!

     Week 3: A Pilgrim State of Mind

Scripture: Ephesians 2:17-22

"My friends, our Progressive Christianity series is off to both a refreshing and illuminating start!  When we consider them, the past two weeks have challenged us intellectually, emotionally, and of course, religiously!  Where else can you find a Christian church that places Jesus and his teachings about God and creation at the center of its identity, work, and mission, while embracing the witness of many paths that enrich, not hinder, our spiritual journeys along the way? I recall the amazing interfaith work we accomplished for love and justice in August, for example, and I'm beyond excited for our future as a Christian community!  We simply refuse to be a "God in a box" church!

This Homecoming Sunday, we have a treat in store after the worship service - a potluck!  Have you signed up to bring a dish or beverage yet?  I can imagine a gathering of colors, shapes, and beautiful hearts; I'm taking about each of you!  Former members of our church, those with previous church experience, and the spiritually curious areall invited for a day of celebration and sharing.  In the name of Jesus, we will affirm our call to be a community that is open, welcoming, and affirming to all!  Come home family and friends - see you Sunday at 10A!!" - Pastor Rod

Liturgist: Madison Tenaglia
