Every Star Trek episode and movie begins with the voiceover phrase: to boldly go where no one has gone before. Of course, it wasn't true. Everywhere the crew went, there were already other people there. It would have been a dull show if it were any other way. And, no matter where we might go, God is already there, waiting for us and challenging us to broaden our horizons.

In Acts 10 & 11, Peter breaks new ground and old barriers by accepting Cornelius and his family into the community of faith known as Christianity. God asks us to step outside our comfort zones and test our own boundaries. Don't let our pesonal prejudices hinder God's loving and inclusive work. We're off the map in this week's sermon. Come and join us at First Presbyterian Church or watch us on Youtube later in the week.

On Wednesday night, we will look at how the exclusive faith of the Jewish people became the expansive faith of Christianity. Our study begins at 6:30pm. The texts of Acts, Chapters 10-11 will also be the basis of Sunday's sermon: We're Off the Map.

Our Earth Day themes worship went very well. Children created rainbow ribbon penants and we all learned a bit more about our connection to creation. Spend some time withnature this week.
