Worship Series: "How Shall We Love"
from umcdiscipleship.org

How shall we love? What does love look like? What does love include? We need to spend some time together, before God, contemplating the invitation to a life that leads with love. Of course, we need to do more than just contemplate; we need to love. We step out; we reach out; we invite and encourage; we lift up and help heal. And sometimes we get it wrong, and sometimes it isn’t received in the spirit intended. But we keep at it. We keep loving. Because that’s what it means to be Easter people. We are the people who ask, “How shall we love?”

This Service's Theme: "We Share Christ"
Worship Planning Notes

We need the opportunity to submit ourselves as individuals and as a community to the work of living in peace with one another, working together toward the flourishing of all people.
