All the funds in the Missions-General account will be distributed amongst one or more of the five sister churches selected this year.)

June is Pride Month - Choose Love
The intersection of Christianity and the LGBTQ+ community has sparked significant dialogue and reflection within religious communities worldwide. As we navigate this complex terrain, where the Christian community can be seen as a hate group to people in the LGTBQ+ community, it is crucial to explore how we, as Christians, can embody love, compassion, and mirror the teachings and images of Christ Himself. Psalm 46 New Life Version: "God is our safe place and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble. God is a safe place. As image bearers of Christ we should reflect the love of God in our communities. 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones. We may not know how to approach this topic or what to say, but the Bible calls us to embrace love and to give love to others. There are many ways to do that. Here are a few: * Listening: Engaging in genuine dialogue with individuals understanding their experiences and challenges will foster empathy and curiosity. * Creating Safe Spaces: Create safe and welcoming environments where all individuals feel valued and respected. * Education and Awareness: There are many resources and educational opportunities to deepen understanding of LGBTQ+ issues from theological, psychological, and social perspectives. Take time to learn from other Christians who are teaching on this topic.Throughout the Gospels, Jesus consistently demonstrated radical love and compassion towards those marginalized or oppressed by society. His interactions with themarginalized and his teachings on love without condition serve as foundational examples for us today. Navigating the intersection of Christianity and the LGBTQ+ community requires courage, humility, and an unwavering commitment to love as we try to create a more just and compassionate world where everyone feels embraced and valued. As we strive to reflect the image of Christ in our lives, may our actions and words be a beacon of hope and acceptance for all. |
