In this noisy world every moment is an invitation to live beyond distractions. We are here to love. That is our number one purpose. It is easy to get distracted from that purpose when life gets busy and competitive. Yet love is why God sent each of us here. That’s why God sent Jesus here. That’s why God sends people into our lives to love us-and sends us into the lives of people to love them. Each day, God is ready to send all the love we’re ready to receive.

The message on my heart for this Sunday will offer practical suggestions for holding to our purpose to love out loud each day. Love seems in short supply on many fronts. Yet love is always right in front of us, ready to be accessed in even the most difficult moments. With intention, we can experience and sustain love. With intention, love will grow and flourish in our lives, nourishing us and others.

Our Scripture for Sunday from 1 Corinthians 13 says, “What if I speak the most elegant languages of people or in the exotic languages of the heavenly messengers, but I live without love? Well then, anything I say is like the clanging of brass or a crashing cymbal” (I Corinthians 13:1; The Voice Translation). My prayer is that in this clanging and crashing world, our lives would be a symphony, beautifully tuned to bring harmony in the midst of discord.

This Sunday our Drama Ministry will also be sharing from their hearts on “Loving Out Loud.” And they will not be performing or acting. These will be real love stories, born from real life These stories and thoughts will be meaningfully woven throughout our worship.

Love is our joy and opportunity, and all done in love will last forever: “Now faith, hope and love remain: these three virtues must characterize our lives. The greatest of these is love” (I Corinthians 13:13). See you Sunday at 9AM and 11AM

The MCCDC Drama Ministry Presents: The Maker of Zoe

In the heart of Washington DC, Avery, an outwardly confident and whimsical toy designer, finds true meaning and purpose, after a supernatural encounter with an angelic messenger. Avery is transported to the Land of Zoe and embarks on a journey filled with mystery and wonder. This moving and suspenseful tale will delight and intrigue audiences, as it unfolds the truth of The Maker’s Love for all and looks at the common misconceptions of Scripture concerning homosexuality.
You will be moved by this inspirational and entertaining performance, enjoy a delicious Italian Dinner served right to your table, and help support God’s message of love for all people
