All in Faith & Fellowship

Faith and Fellowship: The Power of the Cross


The Apostle Paul gives us a strong testimony in the Bible, Galatians 2:20 teaches us,” I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me”. The message of the cross that we hear being preached tells us that Jesus Christ is Lord. The cross brought power from God within him.
The message of the cross is foolishnesses to those who are perishing, but to us who are believers, it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18

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.
