Flagstaff Religion News for February 11, 2023

LIVING CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH Feb 12 — 500 W. Riordan Road, 500 W. Riordan Road, Flagstaff. 928-526-8595. 10-11 a.m., We invite all to celebrate with us God’s love and presence in our lives and be God’s hands in the world. We are intentionally inclusive. We worship through music, teaching, prayer, and the sacraments each Sunday at 10 a.m., at the Campus Ministry Center located on the NAU campus or join us online. Join Rev. Kurt Fangmeier for the Sixth Sunday after Epiphany! In today’s reading from Deuteronomy, we are called to choose life by loving and obeying God. Much of today’s gospel reading echoes portions of the Ten Commandments. Jesus’ instructions to the crowd reveal a pattern of behavior that honors both God and the neighbor, resulting in life and health for the whole community. We too are invited to embrace these commandments, not out of fear of retribution, but because God has promised that to do so means life for us. We will hear more with Reading Deuteronomy 30:15-20 (Choose life), along with Reading 1 Corinthians 3:1-9(God gives the growth) and the Gospel Matthew 5:21-37 (The teaching of Christ: forgiveness). https://go.evvnt.com/1551128-0.

BEACON UU SUNDAY SERVICE: “THINKING INSIDE THE BOX ABOUT HOMELESSNESS” Feb 12 — Beacon Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 510 N. Leroux St., Flagstaff. (928) 779-4492. 10-11 a.m., ALL ARE WELCOME! You BELONG at Beacon. Spiritually open and intentionally inclusive since 1958. Why are there so many unsheltered people in America and what are the factors that have led to this epidemic? How do NIMBY attitudes, callous politicians, and deep-pocket developers impact the availability of affordable housing? What stereotypes and unconscious biases do we possess about the unsheltered and how does this impact our empathy and advocacy? With the recent “Point in Time” count of the unsheltered in our town completed and with dinner guests at the Flagstaff Food Center and occupancy at local shelters at an all-time high, we’ll think “inside the box” together about homelessness. Rev. Robin Landerman Zucker, preaching, with Worship Associate Linda Ochi. Music from Austin Shaw and the Beacon Choir, under the direction of Andrez Alcazar. Social Justice Witness from Kelly Wells, Program Manager of Sharon Manor. After the service, we will assemble Care Bags for the Unsheltered – you can still bring items. https://go.evvnt.com/1550730-0.

Are you ready to receive what the Game of a Lifetime, your life, has to offer? Have you benched yourself for one reason or the other? Has a simple fumble put your entire game at risk, or will you take the ball and run with it? And who are YOU in the game? Quarterback? Coach? Referee? Or Spectator? None of those are wrong—but where do you see YOURSELF in the game? Join us Sunday Live 10:30 @ 1800 S.
