Grace Upon Grace
At Youth Group last week we talked about baptism and what it means to be claimed by God. Only a couple of the kids have not yet been baptized, and one in particular asked me if he could be baptized even though he didn't believe in God. That stumped me for a minute. Finally I asked him, do you believe in love? Yes. Do you believe in treating people fairly? Yes. Do you believe in sharing with others who are less forutnate than you? Yes. "It sounds like you and I believe in the same things, you just don't call it God," I said to him.
"I never thought I'd ever go to church," he shared. "But here, it's all about belonging; feeling safe and loved; being part of the community. I like that about this church. Here everyone matters. That's why I want to be baptized."
Will I baptize this child who claims to not believe in God, yet believes in all the things that God calls us to be and do? Absolutely. Because baptism is all about God's Grace -- God calling, claiming and naming us. We Lutherans talk alot about not having to earn God's favor, but even so, the idea that we don't have to do ANYTHING and God could still love us -- that's a kind of grace that we can hardly comprehend. The Spirit works in mysterious ways, and God can accomplish great things in all people. So in baptism, we err on the side of Grace; welcome all as God welcomes all; wash our siblings in Christ clean in the redemptive waters of Christ, and recognize that none of us have the faith worthy of our calling or worthy of our inheritance and yet God loves each and every one of us with an unwavering and unshakable love. - Rev. Christin Fawcett
Mini Pantry – Maxi Impact
If you’ve driven by the church on Lapeer in the past few months, you’ve probably noticed a wonderful new addition to our ministry – a Little Free Pantry offering food and personal items to anyone in need. During the fall, Pastor and several members joined forces to bring this to fruition, and it is proving to be a beautiful way to serve our neighbors.
The concept is simple – donations from Grace members, or anyone who feels moved to give, will stock the pantry so that those in need may help themselves. The Social Ministry committee has general oversight of the Pantry, and our intent is to keep guidelines to a minimum. We are asking members of Grace to participate in this ministry in two ways: Donate in-kind items: Nonperishable food; personal hygiene items; paper goods; diapers, etc.
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:40
Vision Statement
Our vision is to be faithful servants, living by God's Word and supporting others to do so while extending to all the teachings of Jesus Christ by reaching out to neighbors and strangers, seeking justice while constantly striving for and supporting diversity in our congregation.
