Pastor Rick Amendola Church email/FB post May 29, 2020
SO MUCH going on in the USA. I, like many, are disgusted and saddened by the recent events in Minneapolis, NYC, Louisville and Glynn County Georgia. These events add to the growing list of unfair and racially charged happenings across our land. THIS HAS TO STOP. This is especially important to the Christian community in America. People of faith must stand up and be counted and heard. As a Christian, as a church goer, as a Pastor, I go on record as condemning these acts of violence, hatred, prejudices, and unfairness. I pledge to do my part within the sphere of my influence to enlighten, challenge, and correct anyone I interact with. I beseech all to “see” the pain of others, “hear” the sounds of hatred and prejudice, and “touch” the hearts of humanity. This is our mission, this is our mandate, this is our challenge. “YOU are the salt of the earth...YOU are the light of the world” Matthew 5:13-14
