On a rock that stands at the entrance to the Tent of Nations just outside Bethlehem in the West Bank are painted the following words in Arabic, English, and German: WE REFUSE TO BE ENEMIES. In Rev. Meyers' sermon this week, given the overheated state of the world, we will explore how Jesus' call to break the cycles of retribution may be just what we need to encounter right now.

- Readings: Genesis 45:3–11, 15; 1 Corinthians 15:35–38; Luke 6:27–38
- Anthems:
- When the Stars Fall (Hatfield)
- Pilgrim's Hymn (Paulus)
- Sermon: "Beyond the Bumper Stickers"
- Postlude: Litanies (Alain)
