The call and challenge of mutual care

Sitting at the table on the stage at the front of the sanctuary with the worship leader and song leader, and sipping tea with them, Pastor Barbara Moyer Lehman used a conversational tone to talk about what it means to offer mutual care in the context of a community of communities. 1Thessalonians 5:12-22 was the text that she referenced, but she also called upon those sitting with her and on the congregation, to explore mutual care. The challenge at the end of the sermon was to reach out and get to know some new people and practice caring for each other.
