“If all were a single organ, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.” 1 Corinthians 12:19-20
With these words the epistle writer sums up his thoughts on unity within the Church. Indeed we are not islands, each having our own needs and desires. Rather we are connected to one another in a unique relationship. The eye is no more important than the hand; the stronger parts are no more valued than those seen as weak. This has been taught to us since our earliest days of Church School and Confirmation class. Over the past few months, we, as members and friends of Pilgrim UCC, have been reminded more than we think necessary of the importance of these words. Our body (the church) has been rocked by the needs of some of our dearest members and friends. And true to the concept of the body of Christ, we have responded. I give up my column this month to yet another “part” of the body in need. Please give your attention to the following need to which we will respond.
