United Church in Tallahassee

We are a wilderness people;

we are not a people of paved roads  and polished palaces.

It was not pleasant in the desert   as the people of Israel wandered through.

God  leads us toward a future in mission.

There will be tragic times

as well as

sinful, unpleasant, incidental, celebrative

and hope filled times.

Kennon Callahan, Effective Church Leadership

We are a wilderness people. 

We are also an Easter people.

The time of Lent is a time to reflect on the ministry of Jesus;

It is also a time to reflect on our own ministry

 and our special work in progress – ourselves.

… and it is a time to be joyous and give thanks.

O come, let us sing to the Lord let us make a joyful noise tothe rock of our salvation! Let us come into God’s presence with thanksgiving Let us make a joyful noise to God with songs of praise!
