Growing Together in Faith and Love: Waters in Justice

As we draw closer to RIC Sunday on February 11th, our congregation embarks on a unique, reflective journey, intertwining stewardship with our ongoing commitment to justice and healing. This period is not just about financial contributions; it’s a time to nurture our spiritual growth and communal bonds through meaningful actions and heartfelt expressions.

During the worship services leading up to RIC Sunday, we introduce a special activity: contributing to the ‘waters of justice.’ Each week, we invite you to inscribe words of hope, dreams, and prayers on strips of cloth. These strips will be woven into an ever-flowing stream, symbolizing our collective journey towards justice and love.

This activity is more than just a symbolic gesture; it’s a tapestry of our community’s collective aspirations and commitments. As you write down your thoughts, consider what justice, love, and healing mean to you and our church. Reflect on how we, as a community, can contribute to these ideals in our daily lives and the broader world.

Our regular offerings take on a deeper significance in conjunction with this activity. As we contribute financially, we are also urged to offer our hopes and prayers for our community, our nation, and the world. This act of giving extends beyond monetary means – it encompasses our desires for a future where justice and love are at the forefront of our church’s mission.

Let’s also look forward as we celebrate 50 years of justice and healing work within the church. What are your visions and dreams for the next 50 years? How can we grow in faith and love, not just as individuals but as a united body in Christ? These are the questions we ponder and hope to answer through our collective efforts.

The journey towards justice and healing is ongoing, and each step we take is significant. Through the waters of justice activity, let’s weave a stream that reflects our deepest hopes and unwavering commitment to stewardship, justice, and love. Join us in this reflective journey as we grow together in faith and love, shaping a future that mirrors the values we cherish and uphold.

As we move forward, let’s remember that our stewardship is not just about sustaining our church financially; it’s about nurturing a community that lives out the gospel in every action and thought. It’s a commitment to being the hands and feet of Christ in a world that yearns for justice, peace, and love.
