November is Native American Heritage Month and we have an exciting time of worship planned for Sunday as we honor Mowa, Choctaw, and Poarch Creek Indian communities along the Gulf Coast. Indian families include Two-Spirit or Traditional-Gender and LGBT members, some of whom are part of our congregation.
We honor the faithful witness of Christian Indians and Indigenous faithful in southeastern Beloved Countries who praised God through colonization, wars, forced exile, and racial segregation. Such faithful witness affirms the faith of all. Deep South Indian families and societies traditionally embracing minority-gender loved ones offer examples of wholeness in affirming relationships. Our congregation begins a new step forward into reconciling wholeness as we respectfully greet Indigenous neighbors among us and near us who will generously share their own beloved expressions of faith.
Invite someone to join you for church and a very special meal afterward. Tell them they belong at Cornerstone!
Rev Sandy, Pastor
