Gospel means good news, but it is truly the most profound and glorious truth ever revealed. It is not advice, nor is it a system or philosophy to add to the congregants’ lives. It is an exclusive truth claim, a holistic worldview, the true story of the whole world, which by its very nature must redefine and recolor everything else.
Resurrection Episcopal Church
Meets at Gilbert Community Center, 130 N. Oak St., Gilbert 85233, each month except June. (480) 719-5343
www.resurrectiongilbert.org
Services: Call for information
The world sends the message that we must hold right beliefs and exhibit right behaviors before we can rightly belong. To God, that idea is backward. We always belong to God, and in Christ nothing can separate us from his love and acceptance. Growth in Godly ways of being and doing is cultivated when we acknowledge that we are already known and loved by God. All people are welcome at the church, and congregation officials don’t just say it, they live it.
