Luke 1:46b-55 - Mary's Song

 

"My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed;

for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.

He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly;

he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty.

He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,

according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever."

Safe Sanctuary Training

Microsoft Word - Participation Covenant Statement.pdf


God calls us to make our Church a safe place, protecting our children and other vulnerable people from sexual and other forms of abuse. God calls us to create a community of faith where children and adults grow safe and strong.

First Broad Street’s purpose for establishing a Safe Sanctuaries Policy and Procedure is to demonstrate our absolute and unwavering commitment to the physical safety and spiritual growth of all our children, youth and adults.

Therefore, as a Christian community of faith and a United Methodist congregation, we pledge to conduct the ministries of the gospel in ways that assure the safety and spiritual growth of all of our children, youth and adults as well as all workers with children, youth and adults.  

Safe Sanctuary Training is offered as needed during the year.  Once classroom training is received, persons wishing to renew their Safe Sanctuary status may download the Participation Covenant Statement for three years it for recertification.  Please fill out the form and return to the Minister of Education and Programs.
