"I spent a lot of time with the women mentioned in Jesus’ genealogy... These women—despite the loathsome, corrupt systems they were in—found a way to claim their voice and found enough power to survive." — "Genealogy of Christ" by Rev. Lauren Wright Pittman | @sanctifiedart

"Names are the seeded hope of one generation planted in another. They are the thread that connects our histories, stories, and futures." — Dr. Christine J. Hong on Mt. 1:1-17 | @sanctifiedart

The apostle makes it abundantly clear that truth-telling and up-lifting speech is necessary in the work of maintaining the unity. To get to this level of honesty with one another and with God, we must engage in the holy work of confession. https://t.co/ShCILY7AXN

“"We are members of one another," points beyond the church to the universal community that is God's plan. It may be a "secret" too well kept that we are members of one another in a universal community, but it is the truth in Jesus." #EphesiansCommentary #Belief #Ephesians4

[Washington St UMC @WashingtonStUMC]

In the PC(USA) Book of Order, the church is called “a provisional demonstration of what God intends for all of humanity.” ... In worship this Sunday, we'll consider just what the provisional demonstration might look like. #Ephesians2

[Washington St UMC @WashingtonStUMC]

The power of Christ and the work of the Church is a threat to societal powers – whether political or institutional. The Church today needs to reclaim the early church's prayer for boldness in proclaiming this power-threatening truth. https://t.co/Wf9mxQ16Fe

Our prayers for the safety of everyone In DC today. It is clear on this day of Epiphany that we have misunderstood the light promised in Christ. There is nothing about the events in DC today that represent who God is. May God keep safe everyone in and around the capital.

[Washington St UMC @WashingtonStUMC]

Merry Christmas! I hope you’ll be able to join in the celebration at https://t.co/DzEIipraN6, as we celebrate Christmas together. The service is available any time this afternoon.

[Bishop Mike McKee @BishopMcKee]

The following prayer was shared during worship at this morning's Council of Bishops meeting, and I believe it is something we all should hold close to our hearts in advance of Election Day.
