Do you re-read your emails two to three (maybe four) times before hitting “send”? After a conversation, do you find yourself replaying things you’ve said, wondering how they might be interpreted? Have you ever believed that you need to “earn” your value in a relationship, in a community, in the world? If so, then you might be a perfectionist, at least in some ways. This Sunday we think together about the word perfect, a word that appears in the Bible almost 100 times (depending on your translation). We will look at the Apostle Paul and consider how our stories might deepen, expand, and include more love when we adopt a more God-centered view of what it means to be “perfect.”

For the next few Sundays, we will embark on a worship journey through the Book of Acts, exploring what it means to sink into our sacred stories. This Sunday, as we kick off the first Sunday of Pride month, we take up the question of what it means to join our individual stories with the larger story of God. Let us gather together and sink into the power, liberation, and connection we can find in sewing our lives together!
