"Mary Birthed A Movement, Friends Let's Move!" By Mark Pratt-Russum West Hills Friends

For his message, Mark encouraged our meeting to consider the theme of movement present in the Christmas story. He used the March on Washington as an example of what is possible when people feel inspired by a movement. Has the Church been fooled into thinking its primary function is to spectate? Mark urged our meeting to consider what our next steps as a community are. What movements are we being called to be a part of? Following the message, open worship was spectacularly rich and deep, with many noticing a tangible presence of the Spirit. Worship extended past announcements and joys and concerns with many folks adding vocal ministry.
