What difference can a simple act of kindness make? In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that even the smallest gestures of welcome, compassion, and care can become sacred acts that reflect God’s love in the world. This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Bill Leonard explores what prophets, little ones, and even a cup of cool water can teach us about faithful living.
Join us for worship at 10 a.m. in person or online.
Following worship, Rev. Dr. Bill Leonard will lead a forum on “The State of Protestantism” at 11:15 a.m. in Heaton Hall. All are welcome.
