Ending Racism Special (for Martin Luther King Day, 2016)
Martin Luther King Day is a day of remembering Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. who worked for racial equality in the United States and eventually gave his life in that cause. He learned "satyagraha" (holding to the truth, even in personal suffering) from Mahatma Gandhi and so stands with people all over the world working to overcome oppression and injustice.
To remember King, and the ongoing struggle, we re-present a full worship service on ending racism as well as the litany from that service as a separate piece. We hope that these will help you as you follow Christ in "setting the oppressed free." (Luke 4:18)
The full worship service: on vimeo or on YouTube

Brebis has a new coat, and it is just right for Mt. Washington, said to be one of the windiest places on earth. Brebis thinks that God's creation is more beautiful than words can tell.
Brebis poses in front of Alexander Campbell's study. Campbell designed this with windows only at the top, so his light would have to come "from above." Brebis thinks this would be a nice way to study.
Brebis at the home of Alexander Campbell in Bethany, West Virginia. More of the green pastures. Brebis was thrilled to hear that Campbell took to raising sheep when the hilly, rocky soil turned out to make farming difficult.

Soon we had sheep all over the place. They like to sit and listen as we preach, pray, and share in the Table together. In addition to being a pretty good audience, they remind our preachers who may be preaching to an audience they can't see--on the other side of the internet--that the sheep of God's pasture are out there, and God doesn't want even a single one to be lost.
These are our original four sheep. They came to help out with a Children's sermon.
