January 2023: The United Methodist Social Principles

The UMC believes God's love for the world is an active and engaged love, a love seeking justice and liberty. We cannot just be observers. We care enough about people's lives to risk interpreting God's love, to take a stand, to call each of us into a response, no matter how controversial or complex. The job of the church helps us think and act out a faith perspective, not just responding to all the other influences that exist in our society.

How do we do this that? In part, through our The UMC Social Principles , which speak to issues in the contemporary world and offer a solid starting point. The UMC Social Principles are the church’s response to the thorniest issues of our day: Pastor Michael will spend three weeks going through UMC belief on all manner of social issues, including sexuality, gender, economic justice, the environment, guns, the death penalty, reproductive health including abortion, globalization, human trafficking, and much more. Join us for a discussion of these issue and what they mean for our Christian witness in the world.

The class is offered Mondays January 30, and February 6, 6:30-7:15 via zoom. You can get a copy of the social principles in the fellowship hall or church office (suggested donation $8). Any questions, please ask Pastor Michael.
