1 U N I T E D M E T H O D I S T C H U R C H O F S O N O M A VINEYARD PRESS A Note From Our Pastor June 2015 God of diversity, Help us to love otherness. God of the Jesus mystery, Help us to burn out hatred. God of the Woman at the Well, Help us to know our true need. And God of the Ethiopian, Help us to love our neighbor as ourselves. Amen. ~Michael Battle The world is a messy and chaotic place. There is violence, injustice, famine, disease, pollution, poverty, hatred the list could go on. I believe that as Christians we are called to be healers in this world but how? The prophet Micah offers these instructions for our lives: Seek justice Love kindness Walk humbly with God. It is tempting to focus only on one of the three instructions. Seeking justice, for example, could consume us entirely. There is always another cause to be championed or another issue to be taken there is far more injustice than one person can handle, nevertheless we try to fix the problems of the whole world. Sometimes we focus only on loving kindness simply being kind to those with whom we come into contact. Loving kindness gives us all sorts of warm fuzzies, but it does not address systemic causes of brokenness it only treats the surface. To focus only on walking humbly with God turns us inward if our concern is only with our own relationship with God, then how are we in relationship with our neighbor? Seek justice, Love kindness, Walk humbly with God an ancient prescription for holy living. These instructions though cannot be carried out individually they must be carried out simultaneously. Here is another way to think about what Micah says: work to make things better for everyone (even those you will never see), treat one another (and all life) with compassion, keep your focus on the infinite and enveloping love of God. If your faith becomes burdensome, boring or bleak consider what part of Micah s call you may be neglecting. By no means is being a follower of Christ the easiest path, but it is one that brings joy and healing. Grace and Peace, Pastor M@ pearson Sonoma United Methodist Church Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors

5 The Vintage House Singers presents SPRING POTPOURI OF SONGS Refreshments Served Vintage House Friday, June 5th, 2 pm 264 First Street East, Sonoma Free to the Public POTLUCK AND DISCUSSION ON HOUSING 11:15am, Sunday, June 14 Bring your concerns, your suggestions, your friends And a dish to share. After church June 14, we will be having a potluck followed by a discussion on the housing situation. We hope you will come and have your say, hear what other people have been dealing with, make some suggestions about what should be done, and learn some people are already doing. Almost everyone is touched by the housing problems here in the Valley: skyrocketing rents and tightening vacancies... increasing numbers of empty vacation rentals... property taxes bumped up by rising house prices... landlords evicting people in order to gentrify... mobile-home parks raising rents and dropping services... the fear or actuality of homelessness. Spiritual Action suggested the potluck and discussion after hearing people s concerns and getting responses to the housing questionnaire. Everyone they talked to had something to say, and they felt that everyone should hear it. People also wanted something done, and getting together may help get that started. The movement of concern needs to spread. You are encouraged to invite friends, especially from other churches. Spiritual Action has also been meeting with a Latino group at El Verano School (18606 Riverside Dr.) and will be joining them in a community housing forum there Wednesday, June 17, from 6:00-7:30 p.m. Some of them will be joining us here at SUMC, too.
