My beloved sisters and brothers in Christ!
Recently, I restarted the monthly worship service at Whitney Place in Natick. Though they were closed for over eighteen months, I felt blessed to be there with those who came to worship. It was a blessing to see residents and enjoy the experience together. Most of all, to hear that those who worship were still connected to each other, and remembered that God was still present as Pastor Alecia was praying for them. When I was leaving, I sat in my car for a while to reflect on this re-entry experience and what I had heard. As I did, I realized that our United Methodist’s theological tradition of evangelism is not simply a ministry for a few. Everyone, who is a child of God, has the responsibility to reach out and minister to others. That is, anyone who believes in God’s Grace, is willing to follow Jesus Christ and live by spreading social holiness. And though I was not present with them, the past year, they took the responsibility that they are sent to spread the good news. Older and frail, they also believe that our God is a “Sending God” and they, in turn, are a part of the people sent out. In our United Methodist theological tradition, God sends all people as evangelists. But that alone is not enough because a lifelong process of nurture and persistence is also a necessity. The task belongs to the whole people of God in and out of the church. In view of this, it is my prayer that each of us at Fisk UMC continue to understand that God calls each person to some form of ministry. Therefore, we are counting on each one to be a part of some ministry and/or mission. Yes! We need your tithe, talent, and time. We need your prayers, presence, and participation. But we also need you to share God’s grace. Grace that is undeserved, unmerited, and FREE. With this available for everyone, I pray that we continue to believe that everyone can be reached. As we continue to reach out, know that grace works to restore and/or establish a person’s relationship with God even when we are not present. Those sisters and brothers in Christ at Whitney Place are still reaching out to others even as they are getting older and frail. How about us?

Our youth are busy - with mission work, fun and fellowship activities and growing in faith. Youth Fellowship meets most weeks - either after worship for lunch, fellowship and a program or for a specific special event at another time. See the calendar for the complete schedule and check our our MYF page for pictures and more information.
Bingxin Xu received his master of science degree from Cornell University and moved to Natick, with his wife Tian Zhang, right after his graduation in 2012. They feel blessed to settle down in Natick and Fisk Church, and felt called to be Fisk's Youth Fellowship Leaders in 2015. They are looking forward to leading and growing up along with the youth.
