Worship on Sunday
August 29, 2010, 10:15 a.m.
The plans of Muslims to build a community center in New York City has created a furor among some across the United States. What does this tell us about our nation? How can Iowa City's experience of interfaith dialogue and cooperation inform our understanding of this situation?
"Looking Beyond the Details"
The Rev. William Lovin preaching
Scripture lessons: I John 4:16b-21; Luke 9:49-50
Special Music--Andrew Knapp
We will celebrate the sacrament of communion during worship today. All are welcome at the table regardless of church membership or denominational affiliation.
Join us in Rockwood Hall after worship for Good Coffee (Fair Trade) and Great Conversation.
Nursery care is provided during worship for the youngest children. Older children are encouraged to stay in worship through the children's message and then go to "Children's Church."

Our MissionOPEN AND AFFIRMING
Whoever you are, where ever you are on life's journey you are welcome here.
The Congregational United Church of Christ is an “Open and Affirming” congregation.
We know, with Paul, that as Christians, we are many members, but are one body in Christ, members of one another, and that we all have different gifts. With Jesus, we affirm that we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves, that we are called to act as agents of reconciliation and wholeness within the world and within the Church itself. We recognize the presence of ignorance, fear and hatred in the Church and in our culture, and covenant to not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, nor any other irrelevant factor, and we seek to include and support those who, because of this fear and prejudice, find themselves in exile from a spiritual community.
We welcome lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people to worship with us, join our congregation, and take an active role in our leadership, ministry, and mission.
