Today we celebrate with joy the anniversary of Grace United Church. We remember those from the past who built and maintained Grace United and those that continue to support and maintain the life of Grace United. Grace United is more than brick and mortar. It is a family living and breathing collectively in Christ. Time will crumble brick and mortar. Climate change will yield famines, fires, floods and extreme weather events. False gods and deceptions will arise. Believe in Jesus and stand together, hearts beating for Jesus in unison. God’s promise for external life will be fulfilled.

Amen.

Readings for the week: Isaiah 65:17-25; Luke 21:5-11.
