The sign affixed to our
church boldly states that we aspire to be ‘a house of prayer for all
nations’ (Isaiah 56:7). Those are awfully big and holy words for a little
church in Brooklyn. Yet, we pray that we may somehow exemplify them,
not only because the people within our church family represent five
continents, but also because we feel that it is God’s call for us to be a
reconciling and unifying force in a world and city that are increasingly
divided.
We believe faith is
about the head and the heart, the soul and the hands, tears and laughter,
charity and justice, inreach and outreach. We are guided by our worship,
study, and prayer. In the past four years the Spirit has led us in
new directions (starting a youth group, volunteering at a local Soup
Kitchen, and hosting a CSA) and in old directions (our community chorus
remains vibrant, the seniors still joyously gather, the food pantry
continues to offer a significant resource, and the congregation is forever
marked by mutual concern).
We invite you to
participate in the worship and service life of our church. Come and
journey with us!
Peace be with
you,
Rev. David
Aja-Sigmon
