Welcome to the United Church of Sun City
Pastor's Post
All are welcome to worship at United Church
each Sunday at 10 am for the worship and praise of God.
Greetings,
There’s an old story I like about
President George H.W. Bush and
his wife Barbara entering St. John's Episcopal Church, near the White House, to attend a worship service. A homeless man stopped them and asked for prayer. The President's answer shocked onlookers. He replied, "No, I won’t pray for you. Instead, come inside with us and we’ll pray together." From that day forward, the man regularly attended St. John's Episcopal Church and prayed together with the other worshippers, including, on occasion, the President.
Togetherness is one of the reasons I enjoy pastoring a church, and especially this church. Whenever we gather for worship, I am reminded that we are not alone. God is with us - all of us. And friends, that good news of togetherness is always worth celebrating.
Unfortunately, we allow ourselves fewer opportunities to celebrate togetherness in our culture. We live in a time when it is easier than ever to stay connected electronically, yet genuine togetherness can sometimes be harder to find. Oh sure, there are times when groups of people, family, and friends get together, but even those gatherings are fewer than in times past.
As we move into the fall time of the year and get back into more regular routines, let’s make worshiping together a priority. Plus, there will be more activities taking place at United Church in the fall allowing for us to gather. Watch the bulletin and newsletter for upcoming events.
Borrowing President Bush’s words, “Come inside and let’s pray, worship, and share in the joy of our faith – together.”
Thank you for your prayers and I look forward to being back with you soon!
Pastor Brady
