What we'll be talking about Sunday morning.
Metamora UMC Sunday service, 10am

What if the reign of Heaven wasn’t some far-off eschatological realm of those who died in God’s good graces, but instead was a real place, one we could be part of, one we could create by the way we live into our humanity as a vehicle for compassion, forbearance, and equanimity to make the world look as God intended?
What if we could learn to be citizens of such a place; with everyone having rights and responsibilities, and contributing to its flourishing?
When Jesus gave his Sermon on the Mount, that’s basically what he was saying. All you who feel inadequate to the vagaries of life, who mourn, who are not powerful, who show mercy to the vulnerable, who hunger for a world of right and justice, and pray for peace; you already are citizens of this reign just by virtue of being alive. Blessed are you. You are the light of the world.
To be blessed is not just about getting good things, but being called especially to a task by God, and that task is to bring this reign of God into being. It will not be easy. But don’t be anxious, you flawed human creature. You are just as worthy as the birds of the air and flowers in the fields, whom long ago God called Good. You also are under God’s grace.
Build the house of your being on the rock of that certainty, and you will live into this blessing, and you will experience the reign of God “on Earth as it is in Heaven.”

It was a packed house last night for Bustin' Strings!
We love when our barn is full of neighbors and friends. Food and music are timeless ways to cross over the presumed differences between us and make room for connection and belonging. When we sit and eat together, when we share in the rhythm and joy of the musicians, we're creating the kind of world we all want to live in.
Thank you all, for making it that kind of night.
We do this every third Friday. You can come too.
