Who Is My Neighbor?

"When I went to meet the pope, I brought a book of Seamus Heaney's poetry, which he had inscribed for the pontiff. The inscription was a quote from [Heaney's] catechism, from 1947. It said, 'Q: Who is my neighbor? A: All of mankind.'

Now, for all its failings and its perversions over the last 2,000 years - and as much as every exponent of this faith has attempted to dodge this idea - it is unarguably the central tenet of Christianity: that everybody is equal in God's eyes."

--Bono, lead singer of U2

Sermon: Bono & The Boss

During the month of August, Chris Currie is giving a sermon series, "The Soundtrack of Faith: Behind the Music" related to music and faith, but in particular how these artists have shaped his faith through their songwriting, lyrics, and unique sound. This week's sermon is "Bono & The Boss."

Mo-Ranch Disaster Recovery Trip

Interested? Fill Out Our Survey

Assisting communities in need following natural disasters has long been central our church’s mission and identity. From Super Storm Sandy to Nashville and western North Carolina flooding and well beyond, SCAPC members have never failed to answer the call from communities in-need. Now, SCAPC’s Disaster Recovery Team is planning a fall 2026 return trip to Mo-Ranch to help with recovery efforts underway in the Hill Country in response to the latest devastating floods to impact that area.

Our Disaster Recovery Team welcomes all those interested in helping Mo-Ranch on its “long road to recovery”! Historically, these trips have provided members of our congregation with intensely rewarding bonding experiences, while serving others as they have served us in the past. Please fill out the survey at scapc.org/rebuild to help us decide on the best weekend for a trip this fall. All volunteers age 16+ are welcome.
