Palm Sunday

 

Rev. Robert J Dreese

 

March 28, 2010

 

Well, it’s hard to believe.  After months of debate…..after all the accusations of power grabbing and foot dragging….after numerous invitations to come to the table….and televised events of question and answer sessions…..conversations…..and heated debate……after shouts of “hell no” and manipulated poll results of what the American people want…..

 

After all of that, finally, this week, members of Congress did the right thing.  Both Democrats and Republicans have condemned the uncivilized actions of persons who spit on black legislators……shouted “fag” at a gay member……and “spic” at a legislator of Hispanic descent…… and “baby killer” at a member who was satisfied his issue was addressed…… sent threatening letters and emails along with faxes of nooses to those who voted on health care differently than some people wanted…..and who threw bricks through the windows of the district offices of some members.

Welcome to First Grace United Church of Christ!
 
We are a church of passion and action. We are a church connected to God’s grace, connected to dynamic faith, and connected to engaging community works. We often say around here that if it is something Jesus would do we’re not even going to vote on it or waste a lot of words over it, but instead focus on Jesus’ words and actions to make our community whole. 
 
At first glance, First Grace can seem confusing.  Are they a church?  A community center?  We are all that and more!  At First Grace we will feed the hungry… we will serve our neighbors… we will be open and affirming of LGBT persons… we will be inclusive to the diversity of the community… we will help children and teens learn… we will provide meeting spaces for persons in recovery… we will help families in their daily caring for children… and we will worship God with leadership that is both faith-filled and faithful.
 
We invite you to join us for worship and breakfast, to one of our many ministries including community meals, faith gatherings, volunteer opportunities, or children’s and youth educational programming.
 
If nothing else we invite you to just come and experience First Grace in any capacity!  Come because someting inspires or interests you, come because you feel called to God's grace and witness. One of the most important functions of being a faithful member of First Grace is being a spokesperson for our Still Speaking God, being an agent for what God is creating even today, and being a witness to the extravagant welcome we have to offer to you and this community.
