Old First Reformed UCC

We're in the process of renewing our Mission & Vision Statement for Outreach Ministries (we've accomplished much; what more does God want from us?). These commitments from a pastoral letter from the Southern New England Conference Minister reminded me of Mission & Vision goals...

One of you asked for the text of the "Modern Day Psalm" by Zach Ford that Theo and I read as the end of worship yesterday. It can be found on the https://worshipwords.co.uk/ website.

A Modern-day Psalm

We do not stand against,
We stand for:
Love, inclusion, life, and dignity,
Offering a hand to those in need,
Or a shoulder to those who weep.

We do not stand against,
We stand with:
The fearful, the oppressed,
The rebels and truth-tellers,
Those who take action.

We do not stand against,
We stand for:
More truth, more justice,
The right to be yourself,
To choose, deny, or claim.

We do not stand against,
We stand as:
Lovers, parents, children,
Accountants and word-weavers,
The numberless priesthood,
Of unending love.
