Sunday was a busy day for the people of University Park Church and Sunnyside Church. Dispite the high heat and no A/C in either church (this is Portland, afterall) we had good turnout for worship at both services. Our focus Scripture was Ephesians 4: 1-16 (using The Message translation):
A Homily On Ephesians 4: 1-16: Run, Don't Walk - And Dream from The Rev. Chuck Currie on Vimeo.
Later in the afternoon both congregations gathered together for a BBQ. We took time at the start to offer prayers of thanksgiving for the meal and for the victims of the terrible shooting at the Sikk temple in Wisconsin.
