Hello Living Word Church, I write this post deeply grieved holding back my tears. I just watched a 10 minute video of an African American man named George Floyd suffocate to death.  He was handcuffed on the ground while being held down by a police officer who had his knees on the back of Mr. Floyd's neck.  Mr. Floyd repeatedly cried out "I can't breathe."The onlookers who videotaped cried out for the officer to stop.  And now many others are crying out for justice after watching and hearing about George Floyd's death.   I know many of you have already seen the same video and images as these cries have spread across social media and the news.     I am thinking about Jesus' command to "Do to

Hello Living Word Church! I don't know about you but I am excited!!!

I hope you have had an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather God has blessed us with before it apparently snows again tomorrow (that's New England for you).      This week I would like to focus our attention on our Global Ministries.  These include all the ministries and missionaries supported by us as a Church who are dedicated to sharing the truth and love of Jesus Christ with our neighbors around our city, state, nation and world.  These include ministries like Walking in Light, who as you read this are delivering food and goods to families in need throughout our city and

Today, I would like to share some very practical ideas of how we can love our neighbors even in the midst of this coronavirus pandemic. If you have any more creative ways we can express love to those around us or hear of any more opportunities please let me know! ​ Give an encouraging word to any essential workers (grocery store workers, delivery drivers, gas station attendants, etc.) that you come into contact with.
