We are Christ Church United Methodist in downtown Glens Falls, NY and we're open. Doubters welcome.

Humility has to come from the realization that all of us have some bad fruit.

If you think you're mirroring God but wound with your words, you're fooling yourself.

[Christ Church NY @livingopen]

Your words --and how you use them-- are critical. Do not manipulate others with words.

[Christ Church NY @livingopen]

The more words bombard us, the less meaning they seem to have.

[Christ Church NY @livingopen]

Sunday is not the most important day of the Christian's week.

[Christ Church NY @livingopen]

Do not be self-deceived about religion. Guard against corruption. Today's scripture is from James 1:17-27

[Christ Church NY @livingopen]

Do good things with your hands and your heart. Say good things with your words.

We open our hearts and our lives... but DO we? ---Clayton Burgess, retired UMC pastor http://t.co/xgLs5PQM

Love is never selfish.

[Christ Church NY @livingopen]

Love is... patient, kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it does not keep a record of wrongs. It always protects & hopes.

What would it be like if we leaned on one another? What would it be like to be the body of Christ in our local community?

[Christ Church NY @livingopen]

What good is it if we have all the best programs in our church but haven't created a community of intimacy where feelings are expressed?

[Christ Church NY @livingopen]

Why do we choose to be distant? What if we really ingested community and chose to embrace the intimacy of relationship?

[Christ Church NY @livingopen]

When we bring people together in community, Jesus is present. Embrace the opportunity.

[Christ Church NY @livingopen]

The heart of Christianity is all about building community.

[Christ Church NY @livingopen]

Where is the connection to the stuff of life? Where's the intimacy? Where is the challenge?

Today's message: The love you save may be your own (from the Jackson 5 song by the same name).

We're excited to have our Pastor @PhilRichards66 back after his restful, refreshing vacation. http://t.co/6c3Ryipm

It is the Spirit which gives life. Today's scripture reading is from John 6:56-69

[Christ Church NY @livingopen]

Silence the voices that ask you to be perfect.
