If you are wondering what it means to us @ Memorial UCC to Be the Church...
During worship on September 4, 2022, those gathered in the sanctuary were asked to write down the 6 words which describe "church" for them.

Jesus said, โLet the children come to me, and do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.โ (Matt 19:14, NRSVUE) 4/4
Wow. The power of following the Spirit and saying โyesโ to 2 9-yr old friends who wanted to be baptized. Their families listened to the kidsโ request, & then intentionally looked for a congregation that was Open and Affirming to people in the LGBTQIA+ community 1/4

Today @ noon w/ faith communities across the country Memorial's church bells rang out 21x in memory of the children & teachers who died @ Robb Elementary School in TX.
Now, our actions need to ring out as we work to implement responsible policies to end gun violence.

There is a time to mourn. A time to weep. A time to gather again. And a time to flip over tables of injustice. A time to embrace the Way of Love. A time to affirm Love overcomes fear.
Praying Fiercely and Reacting Faithfully,
Pastor Kris

I am sitting in the church sanctuary listening to the very sky cry. Tears splashing in the roof as I watch 21 lights burn before me. 21 flames extinguished yesterday in yet another mass murder due to our worship of guns and the god of violence. The god of fear. 1/2

Another mass shooting today at a school in #Texas.
"A voice is heard in Ramah,
lamentation and bitter weeping.
Rachel is weeping for her children;
she refuses to be comforted for her children,
because they are no more." (Jer 31:15)
For now, my tears fall...
