Just Love

It is November 7, 2024.

Today, our purpose statement remains:

“As a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society, and the world.”

Today, the following remains true: You matter. You are created in the image of God. You are God’s beloved.

Today, we say this universally, and we say it especially to our siblings of color, our siblings in the queer community, our siblings who are immigrants and migrants. Each of you matter. Each of you are a creature of God in God’s image. Each of you are beloved. We stand with you in just love.

The resources below explore how our faith calls us to political action (“Called to be political”), as well as the grieving process (“Faces of grief”).
