Come as you are. Our church family varies in how we dress.
From jeans to suits, we hope you’ll join us in a worship.
 “If we clothe ourselves with humility, then no matter how we dress,

we will honor and reflect Christ.”

                                                                                                              – John Bloom

Celebrating Black History Month in East Ohio:
A Month of Learning, Reflection, and Action 

February is Black History Month, a time to honor the contributions of Black Americans, reflect on our shared history, and engage in the ongoing work of racial justice.

You are invited to join pastors, congregations, and faith communities across the East Ohio Conference throughout the month of February as we focus on four themes designed to educate and resource our ministry together. As United Methodists, we affirm our commitment to stand against racism. Each Monday in February we will focus on a specific aspect of Black history and racial justice, sharing videos, articles, and action steps to help congregations meaningfully participate.

February 10 (Week 2) – Resources for Learning and Action from The UMC
Pastors, congregations, and faith communities of the East Ohio Conference are part of the great Connection of The United Methodist Church who resource and support ministries that are transforming lives. In Week 2 we’ll highlight articles, books, and studies from two of our general church agencies: the General Commission on Religion and Race (GCORR) and the General Board of Church and Society. The resources are opportunities for churches and individuals engage in deeper learning.
 
 

Church Should be a Sanctuary for All
 
“You are a hiding place for me, you preserve me from trouble, you surround me with glad cries of deliverance.” – Psalm 32:7 (NRSV)
I ask you to join me in prayer for migrants, undocumented families, the vulnerable, and all who are marginalized.
The reason the Church exists in the world is because of the love of Christ. That love is the center of our life values, and because of that love we always live in service and devotion to our neighbors. Because of that love, we believe that it is our mission as Christians to welcome others and work to ensure that their lives are respected and loved.
As I look at the surrounding migrant and refugee communities, I am deeply concerned about harm in our communities. Reflecting on the foundation of the Church, I urgently call on each of us to build beloved community in the name of Jesus. We need our society to protect migrants, refugees and minorities in the biblical tradition and to work together for the common good and welfare.
Church should be a sanctuary for all, and we should each rejoice in being part of the kin(g)dom of God.
