On October 3rd, we are having our Blessing of the Animals service.
We invite your animal friends and family to join us! If they can go in front of a camera, they can participate in the blessing during Sunday Service. They don't even have to be aware they are being blessed. Other animal friends & family who are no longer with us, or who may in fact be wild yard animals, can still be part of the blessing! Simply email pictures or short videos to to [email protected], or me, Walter, at [email protected]. You can also text pictures & videos to Walter at 662-801-9489. We will share these pictures and videos in a nice slideshow during the service, and you can either send me their names & stories, or introduce them yourselves during service. The deadline for these is the morning of October 3rd before service. (But the sooner the better!) We are a welcoming congregation and invite you to join us online for services this Sunday at 11:00 am. However, due to security concerns we are unable to publish the link to the service. Contact Sandra Moss at [email protected] to have the link sent to you. Please request link before Sunday.

In this service we are going to be talking about one of the strangest and hardest passages in the Hebrew Bible: the prophet Elisha’s interaction with a group of rowdy teenagers and a pack of bears. We will be asking the question, what can we learn about the times we live in from a biblical prophet who has an angry outburst?

It was started by the Human Rights Campaign as a way to increase conversation around marriage equality. This Sunday, the Mississippi State Director of the HRC, Rob Hill, will speak about HRC’s ongoing efforts to bring equality to LGBTQ+ people throughout Mississippi. This week we will continue in our theme of embracing possibility. What does it look like when we truly embrace the possibilities of everyone?
