Wonder, awe, being together, sharing based on everyone’s need, glad and generous hearts, praising God….These are some of the words that were lifted up in the message from Pastor Marc on January 29th. (If you missed it, you can catch it online at www.friedensucc.org.)

Friends, I am praising God for all God’s awesome works. I see signs of God’s love and healing power in the healthcare workers, custodians, researchers, vaccine clinic workers, mask manufactures, cleaning products manufactures, delivery drivers and so many others during this pandemic. I see signs of God’s care in all the first responders, electricians, and road crews in the winter storms. I feel wonder when we gather together through God’s Spirit whether live or virtually. My heart is glad when I hear of the ways individuals and organizations work for equity and kindness and offer care and support to one another. Praises come forth in each new day and in the beauty of all the diversity God has created

I feel all these things when I think of some of the new opportunities coming up this winter and spring. Friedens focused mission is sharing the love of Christ with kids and teens in the community. We all have many opportunities to pray with, support, invite, and connect. Here are some upcoming opportunities:

Thank you for praying for these opportunities and for inviting others. Please be watching for more that will be coming for the season of Lent.

Let them praise your great and awesome name.
Holy is he!
