Chuck Krieg Pastor Scripture Reading Matthew 5:13-20

Message - “Let Them Taste and See”

In the gospel from Matthew 5:13-20, Jesus asks us to reflect on the power we already have. "You are salt. You are light." Not, "Do you want to be salt, or do you want to be light?" You already are. So, given that declaration from our Lord, how will we season? What will we light up? "Get out there," Jesus says, out there in the world, the noisy, wonderful, scary, glorious world and let your light shine. "You are the salt of the earth, why not help things grow? You are the light of the world, why not help folks find their way? Why not mentor, why not lead, why not be what you are, a sign of Christ's presence in the world today?" Join us this Sunday to learn what it means to be "salt" and "light."

If you are unable to attend in person you can listen to Pastor Krieg message on WTCA 106.1 FM at 10 a.m. Sunday.

The First UCC of Plymouth is, “A faithful family of God, committed to proclaiming the peace, faith, and love of Jesus Christ to all!”

No Matter Who You Are Or Where You Are On Life’s Journey, You Are Welcome Here!

We believe in the triune God: Creator, resurrected Christ, the sole Head of the church, and the Holy Spirit, who guides and brings about the creative and redemptive work of God in the world.

We believe that each person is unique and valuable. It is the will of God that every person belongs to a family of faith where they have a strong sense of being valued and loved.

We believe that each person is on a spiritual journey and that each of us is at a different stage of that journey.

We believe that the persistent search for God produces an authentic relationship with God, engendering love, strengthening faith, dissolving guilt, and giving life purpose and direction.

We believe that all of the baptized ‘belong body and soul to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.’ No matter who – no matter what – no matter where we are on life’s journey –
