This week we tackle the dynamic and sometimes contentious early days of the Christian church, focusing on the landmark debate of Acts 15, where early leaders grappled with whether Gentile converts should adhere to Jewish laws. Discover how Peter and James championed grace over legalistic tradition, paving the way for a faith that knows no borders.
We'll celebrate the spirit of generosity exemplified by the United Methodist Church's global initiatives and local kindness. Hear the heartwarming story of Velda, a librarian whose simple, yet profound act of kindness, facilitated by our church's support, underscored the essence of community. The mission of the early church is the same as ours today: to extend its reach from small towns to the ends of the earth.
