THIS SUNDAY! - RALLY for Mission
"Mission" means that we see that God calls us to turn....
our lives of faith outward to the world
and not inward to a religious club

our lives of action to be shaped and sent as people of God
and not programs of an institution

our lives of love to be expressions of  the blessing and
celebration of God working in our lives and the world
