On Wednesday night, October 18, 2017, the Rose City Community Church of Christ and the Sylvan Hills Church of Christ came together for an evening of dialogue on the current status of race relations in our nation. Dr. Thomas Jackson and Greg Clark presented various perspectives on relevant issues and then addressed questions submitted by those who were in attendance. The evening concluded with both churches kneeling together in prayer asking for God to give His people the courage to lead the way in racial reconciliation.
We’ve shared this intersection in Sherwood with Sylvan Hills First Baptist Church, but do we know our neighbors? Even with our doctrinal disagreements, are there not issues in today’s culture in which we need to stand together? We explored this question in “A Conversation with Our Neighbors” together in the Family Life Center on September 2, 2015.
We feel that God works through his Holy Spirit and impacts people’s lives on a daily basis. Here are a few comments from those who have experienced His work in real and impactful ways.
Over our 4 years here we have experienced so much love and acceptance! We have been supported with cards, calls, hugs, prayers, gentle touches and strong faith. In the Army, soldiers are sometimes sent on temporary trips called ‘TDY”. Mostly for training. We feel that in God’s Army, we have been TDY here. In this family, the Holy Spirit is working mightily! Sylvan Hills Church of Christ truly is the hands and feet of Christ. We were abundantly blessed to be sent here and will always carry the love we received here.
We thank God for you!
