God's Year to Act

Our text for Sunday comes from Luke 4:14-21.  I especially like the way it reads in The Message.  As we look at our call to transform ourselves as we transform our world, hear now the words of Jesus:

God’s Spirit is on me;

    God has chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor,

Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and

    recovery of sight to the blind,

To set the burdened and battered free,

    to announce, “This is God’s year to act!”

God's Spirit is on us, Cornerstone!  We have been chosen to carry the message of good news to all.  We have the privilege to announce pardon to those who have been held prisoners by homophobia and other acts of intolerance.  We are the ones called to announce recovery to those who cannot see the truth of themselves and God.  We are called to minister to the burdened and battered and to let them know that at Cornerstone MCC, this is God's year to act for them and for us!  Join us at 10:45 for worship, followed by our Luncheon after the service.
