Lessons

As we start to very slowly re-open here in Illinois, and we begin to step forward into our new normal, what have you learned? What are the lessons God has taught you in lockdown? What do you want to take with you?

God's Justice and Peace for a World on Fire

Some honest, unpolished remarks for middle schoolers about the murder of George Floyd and the protests and civil unrest hat has followed, the problem of racism in our country, and what God might be calling us to.

1. God made each of us in his image.
2. God brought ALL of us, every race, into his church, his community of believers.
3. We should all, especially white people, consider where we need to repent for participating in or allowing unjust systems.
4. We offer God's comfort and love, plus our repentance, to people of color in this country.
5. We strive to help bring God's kingdom of justice and healing here on earth now.
