Nipomo Community Presbyterian Church

Lent of Liberation touches on Lenten themes of exodus, redemption, discipline, repentance and reconciliation. Readers both Black and white will be empowered for the work of racial justice. This invites readers to learn more about the brutal institution of slavery and its impact on Black people in America and recognize how its evolution and legacy continue to harm their descendants in the United States today. Each of the forty devotions includes the testimony of a person who ...escaped slavery through the Underground Railroad, a Scripture passage, and a reflection connecting biblical and historical themes to challenge modern readers to work for liberation. Due to the cost of this devotional, we will not order in bulk, but will be purchasing them for folks who request one. Please contact Caroline in the church office no later than Thursday, February 4.

A Thought for the Day - January 21, 2021 Chances are you are tired. Emotionally tired, mentally tired, physically tired, spiritually tired, we are just tired. I am figuring out that part of the reason I am tired is that I am grieving. There are always people I love who die. Grief is a part of living, a part of loving, a part of who we are. We are allowed to grieve. But it is not just the death of people I grieve, and while some may not realize it, we are all grieving somethi...Continue reading

A Prayer for the Day - January 20, 2021 Greatest Love, Are all days strange days? Do all days feel like a mix of hope and despair? Or is this day stranger than others?... I see signs of hope, and my heart wells up within me. I see realities of pain, and I wonder what will come of this hope which is just a whisper on the winds, barely audible almost missed and then the whisper is gone and shouts of fear rage worry pour into my ears. Things are broken. Really broken. I don’t know how to fix them, and I am not sure anyone else does either. The hopes and fears of so many seem to ebb and flow upon faith in people in power. Their dreams wedded to parties and ideals become nightmares too often. Violence comes in many forms, and too often disguised as justice. I know this, but I don’t know what it means. And maybe I’m just afraid. What’s that you say? Did I hear you right? Yes, I suppose I feel broken too. That it isn’t just my community, my nation, my church that feels broken. Somewhere I feel broken too. I cannot reconcile my desires, to love without limits and demand justice to call for repentance and always give grace to love myself when I am not perfect and to love others who aren’t perfect either because, somewhere I know we all hurt, we all say that same thing inside, but are afraid to say it outside, Love me! Please love me! I just want to be loved! I cannot convince myself to love myself this way because, I am always thinking to myself, You could have done better. You messed this up. You said the wrong thing. How can I fix anything when I don’t know how to love myself? I know you love me. I know you love me. I know you love me. I know it. Help me to love myself, unconditionally compassionately faithfully hopefully And only then let me love others as I love myself, even if they do not change, let me love them like you do, because I don’t know how to fix a thing, but I know that when I know you love me, I love me better. You love everyone. I pray that I love them far better than I have, whatever that means to you, please make it so. Greatest Love See more
