The world often sets up so many boundaries….well, let’s be more honest than that. WE humans set up boundaries that are pointlessly driven by our selfishness. We create all these “Other-isms”: racism, sexism, classism, nationalism, etc., etc. All of it is driven by our fear that someone might get what we have or need. In the process we take (tangible and intangible) stuff away from someone else and set up the idea of the Taboo and The Other. These boundaries get baked into our societies so thoroughly that we often thing we are just doing and being like good conforming people should. Even Jesus faced this and fell into expected patterns and behavior– until he broke the patterns and started crossing all these boundaries.

About this channel: Weekly worship normally takes place at Community Missions each Wednesday morning in our Chapel at 1570 Buffalo Ave. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have moved the service online. A new chapel worship service will be posted each week on the Hope For Niagara YouTube Channel.
