In a world that likes to put people in boxes, even the church has put people in boxes. The LGBTQIA + community is one people group that has been put into a box by society, culture, and the church. Our brothers and sisters in the LGBTQIA+ community are crying out for a place to grow spiritually, to have a place that loves them, supports them, and fights with them when needed. The LGBTQIA+ spiritual seekers are working to break the box that churches have put them in. They are working to break the boundaries that separate the church and the community. This week I will be speaking how 1st Congo has broken through this box, pushed through these boundaries, and the work that is still left to be done. Join is for a special box breaking and boundary moving service. Sermon originally preached by First Congo's Pastoral Intern, Robert Morgan Pearson, on November 17, 2024.
Muley & Friends preached a fun, important message about environmental care for our "Everybody, Every Age" Sunday! This was a special worship service designed with the youngest members of our community in mind from start to finish. The audio of their final song sadly cuts in and out on our recording, but the sermon offers a valuable lesson for kiddos and grown-ups alike as we close out our Season of Creation. Enjoy!!
