Here's what we're learning today at Redlands FUMC:

Emma Lazarus called the Statue of Liberty the Mother of Exiles in her famous poem The New Colossus. Send the homeless and unwanted, the light is lit for all. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe freedom.

Today, we recognize the Guatemala Project, where we send teams twice a year to install clean stoves for our Mayan friends. The 50-100 stoves and chimneys get smoke out of the house and require less wood. We also support the local schools.

Here's what we're learning today at Redlands FUMC:

The question "Are we there yet?" can be about a destination and anticipation, impatience, and longing. We ask the question when we are frustrated. We want it now.

As the spiritual says, hold on just a little while longer. Every little thing will be all right. Pray on just a little while longer. Every little thing will be all right.

Here's what we're learning today at Redlands FUMC:

Our relationship with Jesus doesn't exempt us from the dark nights of the soul, but in the midst of melancholy circumstances, we can find the sustaining grace of a sovereign God. We are still able to thank God for our lives.

Missions Faire is coming! It's not mission impossible, it's mission possible with your help! Donate auction items to help the missions committee make the impossible possible to help our neighbors near and far.

Here's what we're learning today at Redlands FUMC:

Gratitude is at the heart of good manners like thank you cards, grace before meals, and in conversation, but also it is at the heart of the gospel. It can be hard to get the words out of our mouths, sometimes though.
