<p>"Racism is sin because it is an offense to God." The 2009 General Synod adopted that resolution as part of the RCA's ongoing commitment to be both multiracial and freed from racism. This video provides a fresh approach on how racism offends God. </p><p><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9229666&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9229666&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/9229666">Racism as Sin: An Introduction by Earl James</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/rca">Phil Tanis</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> </p>

<p>This Sunday, December 6th, we'll listen to the Song of Mary again (Luke 1:46-55). This time we'll listen to Cisco Gonzalez's voice and version. He is the Director of Student life at Kuyper College and on the preaching team at Madison Square CRC. We are grateful that he's taking the time to lend his voice to guide us in worship.</p>

<p>This past Sunday Pastor Peter preached on Mary's Song (Luke 1:46-55). You can read his version of it at the Pastor's Blog.</p>

<p>Well, we're back online. Since the last listing we've been trying to make sense of grace, of baptism, and of sanctification. This coming Sunday, Nov. 22nd, is Christ the King Sunday and we'll be trying to make sense of "covenant." Is it only an underground group in a Dan Brown novel? Come to worship on Sunday at 10am (breakfast at 9:15)!</p>

<p>When we are right we feel justified. At other times we are asked to justify our actions. In church we talk a lot about justification. Are they related? Are we confused? Check out the Pastor's Blog for more or join us on Sunday the 25th to hear more. 10 am!!</p>

<p>Faith is something we all think we need. Too often when someone offers it to us, it seems somehow lacking or shallow. What is it? Check out the Pastor's Blog to read more.</p>

<p>That's a mouthful! They'll be bringing us a mouthful of meaningful and moving music this Sunday. It's another reason to join us for worship this Sunday @ 10am.</p>
