What is the difference between the world we have and the world we want?  You are!  As Christians, we believe that the Holy Spirit empowers us to choose behaviors, attitudes and practices that make our communities and our world a better place.  This week in church we finish up our series on casting a vision for Cobleskill UMC.  In this vision we see this church making a difference in our local community and larger world in big and small ways.  But our vision is only as strong as our ability as individuals to make simple choices each day that build up rather than break down. This week's readings are Galatians 5:1, 13-25  Permission to podcast / stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE, License A-734781. All rights reserved.
