“God Friended Me,” a new television series, has just been renewed for a second season with CBS. Brandon Micheal Hall stars in the show. He is a young man who talks to God via social media. It has moments of inspiration, humor, and drama. The series has enjoyed great success with 10 million viewers each week.
Some of us may imagine a God who sits on a throne in heaven, thunderbolts in hand, far removed from humanity. The Bible shares a different message about our Creator, the One who gave us life and longs for a relationship with each one of us.
Our new sermon series, “Walking with God,” focuses on God’s first friends, biblical characters in the Old Testament. Each one of them faced struggles as we do, yet found God’s constant love to be a source of comfort and peace in their daily lives. This week we will take a look at Adam and Eve, the very first people whom God created and called friends.
At Hyde Park Community United Methodist Church we are committed to being a place where deep, meaningful friendships can begin and grow. We strive to be a place where strangers become friends, friends become disciples of Jesus, and disciples of Jesus become the Body of Christ, transforming the world with God’s love, hope, and peace.
I look forward to celebrating the Lord’s Day with you this Sunday!
Peace,
Pastor Cathy Johns
