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.

This coming Sunday, April 21, will be the day before earth day and our service will reflect the theme of God's good creation, along with our responsibility to care for it. The texts chosen for the day are: Genesis 8:15-22; Revelation 22:1-5; and, Psalm 104:14-23. The sermon title is: Just Take Care of It. Share your thoughts during the week then come and be part of worship. The iris and tulips outside the church are spectacular.
