The Body of ChristJoin us at 8:30 or 10:00 for worship Join us this Sunday and learn about the ways God blesses us to thrive as the Body of Christ. Pastor Ted plans to share a sermon from 1 Corinthians 12, highlighting the Spirit's work in the body of Christ, the church. Though many and diverse, together we serve one Lord as we all pull in the same direction. For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:20-21 You may access Sunday Scriptures and daily readings each week using the Revised Common Lectionary: bit.ly/CLPBible We, the Church at Litchfield Park, are a part of the worldwide Body of Christ.
