God calls us to be disciples of Jesus, building community through
service and fellowship and sharing the love of Christ with all.
“The United Methodist Church of Westford is an open and welcoming community of Christian
Faith. Without any exceptions, we welcome anyone who seeks to love and to serve God.” Learn More
“God Holds All Things in Love”
Jesus is speaking final words to his disciples. “You are my friends. Abiding love, laying down life kind of love, is the connection that will sustain you. Life is a school for learning to love. Death is a school for learning to live.” Yet, our inclination is to keep our circle small and manageable, choosing to love based on our own preferences and affinities. We often practice conditional love, finding charitable actions easier than cultivating a genuine heart of love. Becoming love is a far greater challenge. Jesus urges us to "abide in my love," recognizing that without first accepting God's unconditional love, we cannot truly love others. As Elisabeth Kubler-Ross beautifully expresses, "The ultimate lesson we must all learn is unconditional love, extending not only to others but also to ourselves. Like stained-glass windows, our true beauty shines forth when illuminated by the light from within, even in the darkest of times.”
