Mercy. Love. Justice.
Every member and friend of First Church is called by God to contribute to the healing of the world in their own way, and they do so according to their own gifts and abilities. No one cause is of greater importance than another. Every act of mercy, love, or justice matters.
Within our community, several areas of concern have arisen repeatedly over the years such that they are represented by standing committees or ongoing community partnerships. These areas are below.
“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly now. Love mercy now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.”
~Talmud, Pirkei Avos (Ethics/Chapters of the Fathers) 2:16
