SUMMARY:Service of Unity
DESCRIPTION:Gathered Together\, Sent Together: Services of Unity As we move ever closer to this year’s presidential election\, we are reminded of the need for us to be unified under God’s promise of grace in our lives. And yet\, the political rhetoric we are exposed to each day seeks to divide us\, teaches us to focus on our differences\, and distracts us from living out the sacrificial love of Christ. In just a few weeks people of faith will arrive at the polls to cast their ballots. Despite the outcome\, we will need to strive to love our neighbors in the same way that God loves us. In Matthew 22: 21 Jesus calls us to “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s\, and to God the things that are God’s”. As people of faith\, then\, we know that no matter which way we have voted\, no matter which way our neighbors have voted\, we are one together in the Christ who claims us. As we look to answer the questions of how we will live as one community beginning on November 6th and beyond\, we want to start off on the right footing with Christ as our cornerstone in our life together no matter those results. To be reminded of that sure footing together\, the Milton Lutheran Church\, Christ’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lewisburg\, and United In Christ Lutheran Church in West Milton will join to provide two services of unity hosted at the Upper Susquehanna Synod\, ELCA. Our first service will be on Monday\, November 4th at 6:30 p.m. at the Upper Susquehanna Synod Office. (100 Mahoning St. Milton\, PA 17847) We will worship together and remember the baptism by which we have all been claimed together in the community of Christ. From this steadfast remembrance\, we will then head to the polls on Tuesday\, November 5th in our acts of civil responsibility. Our second service will be on Wednesday\, November 6th at 6:30 p.m. at the Upper Susquehanna Synod Office. (100 Mahoning St. Milton\, PA 17847) We will join in a service of Holy Communion where we will remember that no matter the events or results of the day prior\, we are all joined in the one body of Christ. In this space we will be met by the one who comes to sustain us\, nourish us\, and reconcile us one to another for our shared life together. We hope you can join us for these services as we gather to remember our unity to one another in the God who claims us. Come and see!

SUMMARY:Deadline for Seafarers Bags
