Join us on Sunday, June 8th at 10:30 am as we welcome our guest speaker Rev. Barbara Williams. Rev. Barbara will be bringing a lesson on "Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace." Christine Mariani will be accompanying this celebration service with her inspired musical selections.
“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but serenity in the midst of it.” Hillary Manley
Our world is calling each of us to learn to go beyond merely managing the conflict in our lives to actually embracing the conflict, allowing it to teach us what we otherwise might not learn. This process leads to peacemaking ... whether it be within us, in our relationships, or in our encounters out in the world. Jesus blessed the peacemakers calling them the children of God. This Sunday, we ask ourselves, “Who have I come here to “be” in the midst of conflict?”
