As a collective body of believers, Jesus calls us
to bring the Kingdom of God to Earth. He even teaches us to pray,
"Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven."
Bringing the Kingdom involves, among other things,
addressing the racial, socio-economic and
educational injustices in our world. It is our task
to find how our individual calling plays into the
collective calling of God. Worship led by
