 I call this meeting to order. Why me? Why the United Church of Christ? Who? Me? Yes, you. As servant leaders of Jesus, we are called to make an impact. And as if, for the first time realizing, she says, and I guess, I guess church makes me me. And Peter said it's in his defense. Hey, I had a dream. I'm preaching. And the Holy Spirit came upon the Gentiles. If God gave them the same gift God gave us when we believed, then who am I to hinder God? Peter's saying the problem's not with me. It's with God. And the question for the church in that time and from that time forward has always been, not can you accept the other, but can you accept the God who already has? But you, oh God, reminded us to draw the circle wide. No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here. You see, I think we learned three really important things from Moses' leadership. The first of which is that the foundation of any of our leadership in the church, of course, should always be our relationship with God. And friends, we need these kinds of leaders in the body of Christ. Leaders steeped in faith and willing to use gifts and service, and leaders who invite others into ministry. Leaders in gender trust. Leaders have fun. The youth have a lot of fun at these revivals, so we have decided that they can't have all the fun. So November 6th and 7th, right back in Bloomfield, we're going to have a revival for the whole community of the Connecticut Conference. So tonight, we are going to sign an extension of our partnership for another five years. Leaders are self-aware and come. A solution of implementation for the right of all adults. Adoptes to access their original birth certificates and true and accurate information about their origins. Please raise your cards. The resolution is adopted. Leaders love God. And leaders love people. Are you ready to worship? One of the most important skills in being a leader is asking really good questions. With these particular gifts and skills, with this particular context, who else but me to answer this call? But I think there's another level of who else, and that level is who else can be in this with me? We belong. We matter. This is the United Church of Christ.
