Greetings!
I hope you enjoyed our sermon series, Looking Back; Looking Forward. Wasn't it delightful to see some of the video and hear some of the voices of our past? Doesn't it give us a new energy to continue the ministry that we have walked into at Founders MCC? I'm so thankful to our Archives Team and Creative Worship Team for their work on this series. Soon, there will be a link to lots of our archives from our website!

This Sunday is Mother's Day. I realize not everyone was as blessed as I was to have such a wonderful and Godly mother. My Mama was a saint! It's easy for me to honor my Mama since she was such a good person. If you weren't so blessed, I pray that you have found some amazing Mother-figures to bless you along the way.

This Sunday's message is entitled, Honor Thy Mother. We will have a special tribute to out mothers in the service, and you'll get to hear from some of our "Church Mothers" during the service! If you'd like to read ahead, check out Exodus 20:1-2, 12 (The Voice) and Romans 16:1-2,13-16 (Contemporary English Version).

By the way, I'm thrilled to hear of so many of us that are getting vaccinated. I got my second Moderna shot last Thursday, so one more week to go to be "fully vaccinated." We will soon be able to re-gather for worship! Don't worry, you won't miss it, as we will give you at least two weeks' notice, as we've said from the beginning. Keep us in prayer as we navigate through the guidelines that the CDC and our local government have set up to keep us safe.

God bless. I'll see you online this Sunday!

Hospitality - online - after worship!

Heavenly God, as you open our minds;
May the Spirit move amongst us to give us more signs; 
As the baptismal waters surround us all,
Let no-one, even Gentiles, be separate from Your call. 

Those of us who love Jesus the Christ;
And those who know only the God of all might;
In knowing just one we may know the other,
It’s much like experiencing the love of a newborn’s mother. 

The Spirit who comes to drive our cause;
The cause of Jesus who’s above all our laws;
Who sprung so humanly from water and blood, 
Who spurs on our passion that comes from God’s love. 

So through the Spirit and because of God’s love;
Jesus gives us a path to abide in that love;
The love that God gives is here just for you,
If you follow God’s ways, each moment feels new. 

Not tainted by fear, nor threats nor pain,
Just constant reminders to help those without gain,
To love as you’re loved, to give as God does,
To move from servants to friends without a fuss. 

My God, you picked them and you picked me too;
And for that I promise to always be true,
To gather and search and do my best,
To love your children with the Spirit’s zest
