MICAH 6:8 SMALL GROUP

CHRIST CHURCH UNITED METHODIST

WELCOMING STATEMENT

MICAH 6:8 SUNDAY SMALL GROUP

 "He has told you, O man, what is good; And what
does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to
love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"

The Micah 6:8 Class is a community in which we seek to Open:
Our Hearts to each other;
Our Minds to truth; and
Our Doors to everyone.

OPEN HEARTS

We believe that the love of Christ has the power to open every heart to every possibility.

OPEN MINDS

We believe that open minds are made possible by the love of Christ having first opened our hearts. We strive to keep our minds open to the truths that can be learned through scripture, tradition, experience and reason. Open Hearts and Open Minds can keep us open to all the sources from which truth can be made evident.

OPEN DOORS

Open hearts cause us to want to open doors to all whom we love. Open Minds cause us to reject the artificial distinctions which closed hearts erect among the children of God. We pledge to keep our doors open to all who would seek to love God and their neighbor.

WELCOME

The doors to our community are open without regard to race or national origin, age, health or infirmity, sexual orientation or gender identity, marital status or economic condition. We feel ourselves to be immeasurably enriched by all who bring their open hearts and open minds to our fellowship.

From - Kentucky Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice

Kentucky Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice

This summer so far has been a rough one for reproductive freedom. The Supreme Court announced its anti-choice, anti-woman decisions in the McCullen and Hobby Lobby cases, demonstrating how far out of touch they, and many Americans, are with the lived experiences and needs of women and people who are trying to plan their families or access abortion.

At this time, when reproductive freedom is more and more threatened by politicians, judges, and even doctors, pharmacists and service providers who think they should be able to dictate a woman's private decisions -- it's more important than ever that you raise your voice in support of choice and reproductive justice.
