Sunday's Preview"You Ate With WHO?" This was the shocked reaction that Simon Peter received from his fellow Jewish Christians when he told them about his experience visiting and eating with a group of non-Jews (Gentiles). Peter found himself having to justify his decision and his actions in the face of their stern disapproval. Have you spent time with a person or group of people significantly different from you, only to get criticized by family or friends when they found out who you were with? How did you explain your experience to them? This Sunday we’ll eavesdrop on Peter’s defense of his actions, and hear about God’s surprising instructions that pushed Peter far beyond his normal comfort zone. Buckle up!

Three Expressions of the Church
We are part of one church body organized in three expressions — congregations, synods, and the churchwide organization. Each expression has its particular functions but all three together share a common mission of doing God’s work in the world and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. Together, they ensure a solid foundation of leadership, active involvement in communities, opportunities for dialogue and diverse perspectives, creative partnerships, and support for members and ministries of the ELCA.
