A cross-scarred door at North Lima Presbyterian Church
SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We are people who claim Jesus Christ as one crucified, a human being like one of us, who laughed with loved ones and wept over the misguided and hurt. Yet he is also God with us. He is 100% God and 100% human. We have experienced him as risen from the dead, connected to all of us because we are immersed in him, and working through all of us for the renewal of the whole world. He stands at our doors and knocks . . .
Our continuing participation in this renewal - the next steps - begins with us.
Please keep in mind that we do not neglect the crucifixion of Jesus as a once and done event. God acted first.
Nevertheless, everyday we focus on the crucifixion of Jesus as a seed dying that now births new life in Christ for all of creation. This affirmation of faith includes our congregation and the region and people surrounding Lima Center. The power of the resurrection is the power of new, revitalized life in loving service.
We hope it includes you, because if you show up here . . .
OUR JOB IS TO HELP YOU BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED!
The Realm of God in stained glass
The Bible uses the image of a garden to help us picture the Realm of God, It shows up in the opening pages of Genesis and it closes the Bible in the Book of the Revelation. In between lie garden texts such as Isaiah 11, where lambs and lions dwell together and a human child leads them. This is the image that oversees worship in the North Lima church.
