Lent at First Congregational Church, UCC in Randolph – Time to Make a U-Turn! On Sunday, March 9, we begin our Lenten worship series: "Repenting from Christian Nationalism." For too long, the Church has been tangled in the myth that faith and empire go hand in hand. But Jesus calls us to a different path—one where: ❌ Faith is not about power, but about love. ❌ Strength is not found in dominance, but in interdependence. ❌ The Kin-dom of God is built on justice, mercy, and belonging. This week, we take our first step by repenting from self-reliance—unlearning the lie that we were made to go it alone. Together, we will reclaim community, generosity, and faith that resists the ways of empire. 📖 Scripture: Deuteronomy 26:1-11 | Psalm 91 | Luke 4:1-13 🎶 Music, Prayer, and Reflection 📍 Worship Onsite & Online 🕙 Sunday, March 9 | 10:00 AM EST 📍 First Congregational Church, UCC in Randolph 💜 It’s time for a U-Turn—away from empire, toward God’s Kin-dom.
