The Issue that Unites Us
While there is a great deal of disagreement on political issues and while we can debate (endlessly) on political solutions, there is one thing that should always unite us despite all of this: our ultimate allegiance is not to a politician or a country, but to Jesus alone. One way of demonstrating this unity is to come together on election day for communion. Let’s remember together who our King is regardless of our political (or non-political) leanings. Let’s be the body of Christ.
For those of you in the Twin Cities area, Woodland Hills Church will be holding an election day communion event at 7pm. Join us!
