First Reformed UCC Prayer Shawl Ministry

Over the centuries, shawls have come to symbolize shelter, peace, and spiritual sustenance. Today, knitters and crocheters of all faiths are creating handmade shawls for people in need, as gifts of comfort, hope, and peace. “Shawls...made for centuries universal and embracing, symbolic of an inclusive, unconditionally loving, God. They wrap, enfold, comfort, cover, give solace, mother, hug, shelter and beautify. Those who have received these shawls have been uplifted and affirmed, as if given wings to fly above their troubles...” Written in 1998 by Janet Severt Bristow.

Faith and Fellowship: There Is Freedom

When we think of July Fourth, we usually think of cookouts, fireworks, celebrating and spending time with friends and family. We should also take the time to celebrate all the freedoms we are given.
I pray that your spiritual celebration on the 4th of July will mirror what we have been taught in
1st Peter 2:16, Live as people who are free not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.

Faith and Fellowship: Kindness is a lifestyle, it's a daily practice

Jesus was more than kind. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which you were called in one body; Whenever we are kinds to others, God begins to smile on us. The word of God teaches us to love our neighbors as yourself. Being kind is loving others as yourself. Ephesians 4:32 , Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
