Hybrid Service: Sunday, May 15 at 10:00 AM

THIS SUNDAY'S SERVICE
If White Christian Nationalism presents an immediate threat, what can we do about it? Drew Strait, Assistant Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins at AMBS, proposes a multi-step approach to counter the political idolatry – the form of “strange worship” -- that is the White Christian Nationalism movement.
​
“We call an obsession with having someone's approval 'co-dependency;' the Bible's word for it is idolatry. A country can be an idol.” — John Ortberg

​ABOUT OUR IN-PERSON AND ZOOM SERVICES:
As of March 6, 2022: We are now leading hybrid services. You can come in-person OR attend by Zoom:

ABOUT OUR OUTDOOR SERVICES ("WORSHIP OUTDOORS)
When weather permits (usually in the summer), we hold outdoor services, where service starts at 10 am. We typically meet at Library Park on the north side of the Old Town Library, across the street from our church. All are welcome!

Bring your mask and chair, and enjoy being in nature.

Please wear a mask if you are not vaccinated for indoor or outdoor services. We sit more than 6 feet apart from one another to listen to scripture and music. ​
​FCMF: Authentic, Compassionate, And Inclusive!
​Here at Fort Collins Mennonite Fellowship (FCMF), we practice the "radical inclusivity" of Jesus. This means working with, having compassion for, and getting to know people who, as Jesus said, are the “least of us” and are often on the margins of society. 
Whether it’s welcoming sexual and gender minorities into our community, helping homeless families in the Faith Family Hospitality program, welcoming homeless individuals who visit us for warmth, food, and fellowship, helping immigrants, or working for a healthcare system that benefits all, we try to walk in the footsteps of Jesus as best we can.
We use our hands to do God's work, focusing on issues of social justice, peace, and helping those in need. 
Seeking God's Ways
Too often we think God offers one thing (privilege), but what God really offers looks quite different (inclusion); we think the world works one way (scarcity), but really it works a different way (abundance); we think power means one thing (control), but it is really found in something else (solidarity). Lent is a time to repent—to turn from our ways and recommit ourselves to the ways of God as revealed in Jesus.​

​​Sunday, May 8, 2022: "Strange Worship: White Christian Nationalism As Political Idolatry!"

CLICK HERE for the sermon.

Steve's sermon consisted of excerpts from Professor Drew Strait's presentation. Here are two versions:
White Christian Nationalism presents an immediate threat not only for democracy in the US but also to the church's public witness. In order to effectively confront White Christian Nationalism we must understand it as an idolatrous form of true Christian Faith.
​
Idolatry: An object of power that co-opts our theological imagination and distorts our knowledge of God, and ultimately leads to strange worship.
​
“The doctrine of blind obedience and unqualified submission to any human power, whether civil or ecclesiastical, is the doctrine of despotism, and ought to have no place among Republicans and Christians."
​— Angelina Grimke
