¹I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, ²with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, ³making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ⁴There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, ⁵one Lord, one faith, one baptism, ^bone God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:1-6

Today is Inauguration Day, when a new president is sworn in and the administration begins.  Today is also Martin Luther King, JR. Day, a day we set aside to remember the work of a man who turned the country around. 

There is still a struggle for freedom and justice in our nation and, while the hope is that our government will work towards “justice for all”, we also know that it begins with us.

Every day, each of us have the opportunity to serve our fellow humans.  We can treat others with grace and dignity, we can lend a helping hand, we can serve like Jesus served. 

Today, we have a chance to lead a life worthy of the calling to which we have been called.

Peace,

Pastor Bill
