We Are the Body of Christ! Jan 27th Holy Conferencing at South Meriden Trinity UMC

We had a joyful morning of Holy Conferencing today, with joyful worship first in our beautiful sanctuary, and then with snacks and fun in our fellowship hall, as our Children's Church took over the sanctuary. We all played a role in telling our lesson from I Corinthians 12 - The hand does need the foot, the foot needs the eye, the eye needs the head to be part of a living body of Christ, and not just a collection of similar body parts. After Pastor John's message, we made a chain out of our names, and the names of people, places, and things in God's creation that we want to connect together in the body of Christ. The chain will be our prayer as a church on our altar in the weeks to come!

We finished Holy Conferencing with reports on what we're doing this year in mission as God's church in Christ. We are a healthy, growing church, with great opportunities to reach out to our community and God's world to bring Christ to the world. Podcast with sermon and sending below, sermon text here and below the podcast. Extra photos from the morning here, too. have a blessed week in Christ!
OUR CHARGE TO KEEP THIS WEEK
We are the body of Christ, when we act as one people, with many gifts, seeking the one goal of our one God - God’s love for all. Be the body of Christ, together!
