I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. ~ Philippians 4:13
I invite all reading this to join us at Living Word. We have much to offer people just beginning to ask questions about faith and those searching for meaning and significance as well as those who have been long time Christians but may have lapsed in being part of a church family. All baptized individuals, young and old alike are welcome to join us at the Communion table.
Without the Spirit of God, we cannot accomplish God’s will for us, with Christ and the Spirit we are powerful beyond measure. We can do all things that are within the will of God for us to accomplish. We can be the individuals and church God wants us to be. Living Word Lutheran Church (ELCA) is a small, but dedicated group of passionate people who love God and each other. It is my pleasure to serve with them. The picture on the right above is an attempt to show how some of the aspects of our Christian lives are present and connected. The Christians at Living Word are people of deep faith and spirituality. They have God; Creator, Christ, and the Holy Spirit at the center of their very being. The spokes go out from there.
They are Empowered by regular prayer, Bible study, and liturgical worship on Sundays and Holy Days. Worship is centered on praising God, reading scriptures, preaching the Word of God, music, and other expressions like special services during Holy Week and, and especially by weekly Holy Communion where we encounter the living Christ and receive a fresh indwelling of the Holy Spirit so we can live joyously thru the week and can accomplish all that the Divine has given us to do that week for the sake of the kin_dom. of God that week. Each week when we remember Christ at the Communion Table, our character and actions become more more like Christ’s character and actions. We are filled with love, so that we can love others.
Living Word is guided and led daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are called to finish the work that Jesus started in defeating evil and drawing all people to the Divine thru Christ. We each see ourselves as being the hands, feet, ears, and voice of Jesus in Arlington, TN, and surrounding communities today. Our faith in the Trinity leads us into “Koinonia,” or deep Christian friendship and community The outcome of this is that we show hospitality to ALL” and work for justice in the world today. The members of Living Word are glad to use their time, talent, resources, and prayers to serve others in missional outreach for the sake of justice for all.
Peace and Prayers to all,
Pastor TroyAnn Poulopoulos
