Do Unto Others: October Worship Series @ Lynnewood UMC
Just as water reflects the face, so one human heart reflects another. – Proverbs 27:19

Our world is deeply divided.  We see things differently - culturally, socially, politically and religiously.  Our differences are complex, but we often distill them into “opposing” sides, typified in the colors red and blue. Rather than sit comfortably in our positions and judge those of different views, the Golden Rule of scripture challenges us to engage in conversation and relationship.  In Christ, we seek to create common good with our relatives, friends, and neighbors; even those we may consider to be on “the other side.”  As we attempt to come together, we need not attempt to change or persuade anyone to our perspective,  but rather we discover the creative beauty of working together and standing side-by-side. The “purple space” is where we cultivate kindness, compassion, humility, respect, and love for one another and for the good of all the world. “Do to others as you would have them do to you” (Luke 6: 31) What might happen in our lives and in our world if we lived this simple rule? Could a kindness revolution really change things?  Join us for worship and a Sunday morning small group to discover how we can put these  faith values into practice and create ripples of grace that impact the world in a positive way.   This worship series is inspired by the 2024 Kindness Campaign of Resurrection United Methodist Church and the Worship Design Studio.
