What would a Venn Diagram of our Micah 6.8 reading in worship today look like?

Here you go!
Rev. Dan

Since Micah 6:8 is up in the lectionary, I'm resharing this Venn Diagram I made three years ago to explain why all three (justice, kindness, and humility before God) are needed.
Be gentle with yourselves, dear resistance, it's OK to rest.
Just don't give up.

Truth. This one will set you free from harmful religiosity.

Dear Friends,

Watch Pastor Paul’s video.

You realize that we do this with Sunday Soups and that’s good. How could we do more?
How can we help people to serve others in Jesus’ name and really demonstrate God’s love?

Here’s a hint - on Sunday, January 11, 2026 our opening hymn tells us the first step.

And two younger folks involved lately have asked about having a childcare center at the church.

What do you think?
What ideas do you have?

It will take time, energy, and effort so the real question is this :
Are you up to the challenge that Jesus issued over 2000 years ago?

Faithfully,
Rev. Dan

P.S. Please don’t just read and react - comment with your ideas, thoughts, doubts , fears, hopes, and dreams. It’s not too late for this church.
