For such a time as this…
As a church of the Reformation, the PC(U.S.A.) is a church in reformation.
In the power of the Holy Spirit, let us respond to Christ’s call:
- With energy: rooted in our rich Reformed tradition but ever ready to engage and embrace the Spirit’s leading in new and fresh ways in our worship, in our mission service, in all that
we do
- With intelligence: harnessing the diversity of gifts, talents, backgrounds and experiences, that leaves no one out, where we journey together as a community of God’s people
- With imagination: trusting in God and the limitless beauty that is God’s future for us, let us dare to dream big, risk making mistakes as we experiment, where we are unafraid to tackle the tough questions, where every idea, from every person, is welcomed and dignified
- With love: being reminded that we are shaped and formed in Christ’s community through Scripture, Table, bread, cup, Font, Water, Prayers, we are a Church loved by God, held in God’s love, & we learn to live in that love with one another and the world as we serve
- With an extra measure of humor: not taking ourselves too seriously for this is Christ’s Church, and Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church, let us be Presbyterians in the 21st century who can laugh with one another, dance in the aisles, sing in the streets, and party because Christ is risen indeed!
