Sojourners Mennonite Fellowship

Sojourners Mennonite Fellowship A congregation of the Mennonite Church, USA, that gathers in Belfast, NY. We commit to worship together in song and prayer and meditation.

With Jesus Christ as our model, we will baptize those new to God’s covenant, wash one another’s feet, and share bread and wine. We will press to the limits of our energy and imagination in honoring our God. We commit to befriend one another as God befriended us, loving and serving each other in humility, welcoming children and strangers into this community. We commit to cultivate each other as we

grow toward God’s holy light. Teaching our children and learning from them, we will discover and rediscover the God who transforms us. We will pray for one another as Christ prays for us. And we will strive for the boldness and sensitivity of Christ, our model, as we tell our stories and nourish one another’s growth. We commit to serve those our neighbors, giving our time, our strength, our skill, our imagination and our money to God’s children in need. Finally, we commit to work for reconciliation with each other, within and among our wider communities, and with the land and everything that lives from it. We will seek justice for the oppressed, especially for those who cannot plead their own cause.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we condemn the threats and acts of violence we have witnessed this week in places where our communities worship, shop and reside. We mourn and pray for those who have been affected by those acts, and especially for those who have lost loved ones at the hands of hatred and violence. We pray for those who carry such hatred in their hearts and see violence as an acceptable response to fear.

These last few days it may seem like hatred and violence are prevailing. As followers of Jesus, we must remember his words:

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God" (Matthew 5:9).

"You have heard it said ‘you should love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:43-44).


Through baptism into our community of faith, we have each committed ourselves to live faithfully as disciples of Jesus, no matter the cost. May we have courage to intervene with love, peace and kindness when confronted with hatred and violence.
