Ambassadors for Christ: A Story Worth SharingScripture: Ephesians 6:18–20This week at Central, we celebrated Laity Sunday—a day when members of the congregation step forward to share their stories of faith and discipleship, reminding us that ministry belongs to all of God's people.Through heartfelt witness, Fabian Rosado reflected on how a simple act of welcome drew him into community and revealed what it means to be an ambassador for Christ—someone whose everyday kindness becomes an invitation into God's love. Carol Cobb shared her own faith journey, shaped by generations of believers and the quiet, steady witness of those who lived their faith with integrity and joy.Lay Minister Tricia O'Hara offered the morning message, drawing from Paul's words in Ephesians: a call to pray continually, to speak boldly, and to remember that each of us represents Christ in the world. Prayer, she reminded us, is both conversation and calling—a way of staying grounded in God's presence and open to being used for God's purposes, wherever we are.

In this episode, the Worship Team introduces the October Worship Series, Choosing Faith. Faith is a multilayered reality that is part gift and part effort. The October series invites us to consider how we as individuals and a community understand and live out faith in our daily lives. The team also makes note that October has other events for our attention, including World Communion, Children's Sabbath, and Laity Sunday. Do we set aside the series in favor of these events, or can we somehow blend them together? Then the standalone All Saints Sunday resources can help your local church celebrate this amazing event.

This week at Orange UMC is Laity Sunday! Join us as Rick Strunk, one of the lay members of Orange, delivers our sermon.

Sermon #304 Laity Sunday is a day when we celebrate the work of laypersons in the church of God.  On this Laity Sunday we at Hudson UMC asked our Lay Leader Wayne Niebauer to describe a time when he felt abandoned by God, and how he could point to where God was at work in that moment.  We often feel like in our hard times we are all alone, and yet when we look back at those times we can often see how God was at work, and it is in the retrospective view that we can gain confidence in hard times when they come.   Text: Mark 10:35-45 Recorded at Hudson UMC on October 21, 2018 (Originally published December 6, 2018) S.D.G.
