MAY 12 Beyond the Walls Online Church 2024

Jesus’ teaching on judging others is straightforward: don’t do it. Despite this, the Church historically has been nearly synonymous with moralizing and judging. Judy Luffman joins us from Redmond, Arizona, to consider how we as disciples of Christ can better live his teachings. Sandra Byrne of Independence, Missouri, will teach our peace lesson as we mark Mother’s Day in North America, Erik Nilsen of Portland, Oregon, will offer our invocation, and Deb Luce of Camanche, Iowa, will read our lectionary scripture of Matthew 7:1-5.
Beyond the Walls – Judge Not. We invite you to share this hour of reflection, prayer, meditation, music, and fellowship with the Beyond the Walls global community on 📅 Sunday, May 12, 2024.
