Theme: Christians
are called to be changed (transformed) by love and grace.
Too many Christians look ans act like everyone else – we
don’t risk the change! God
calls us to be different, to stand out, to be like Christ!
We can do it, but not on our own strength.
Only through encountering fully the love and grace of Jesus

We are called to go beyond love of God in worship and love of

stand out as people who serve our neighbors in many and various
ways, even at personal cost.
