God calls us to be disciples of Jesus, building community through
service and fellowship and sharing the love of Christ with all.
Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-12 is at the core of Jesus’ teaching. We tend to see the deepest, darkest worst part of ourselves because of our deep wounds. Our wounds begin to define us. We find ourselves no longer being salt and a light that has gone out. But we are more than we know! A light of Christ can be rekindled, and a salt will not lose it flavor. The Beatitudes has the power to push away every negative situation in us and bring about newness, possibility, a way beyond our deep-seated wounds. Christ-like vision can move things in us that we miss in ourselves. It is time for us to see the blessedness in us as Jesus taught us. Looking through the eyes of Beatitudes, we are able to recover and enjoy blessedness in each of us. (Companions in Christ: The Way of Blessedness, the Upper Room)
Our group will begin a 4-week study on racism created by The Church of the Resurrection, a United Methodist Church in Kansas City. The study consists of pre-reading material, a video teaching lesson, and a small group discussion via Zoom to be held Tuesdays 7:00-8:30 pm. Our first small group discussion will be led by Rev. Mike Clark. Below is Resurrection's brief description of the study:
