Kindness, respect, compassion, love – How do you want to be treated?

There's a phrase often referred to as the Golden Rule that simply states, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” It's a call to treat others with the same kindness we would want to receive in return. Yet, during election season, it seems division and polarization are common headlines. In a time filled with negativity, we have a choice to make.

Choosing kindness isn't about avoiding our differences but navigating them with respect and compassion. Kindness has the power to influence even more than an election. It strengthens relationships, neighborhoods and communities. It helps us find common ground instead of taking sides. It allows us to disagree and remain friends. It builds bridges instead of walls.

Let's vote for kindness one small act at a time.

Join us for a new message series focused on how we put Jesus' Golden Rule into action.
