👋 Welcome

Welcome to worship with Roberts Congregational United Church of Christ in Roberts, Wisconsin! Whether you have worshiped with us for years or are joining us for the first time, we're glad you're here.

 

Wherever you find yourself on your journey of faith, we invite you to join us as we remember those who came before us, give thanks for the gifts they have passed along, and consider how God is calling us to live faithfully today.

 

✨ This Week’s Message

On this All Saints Sunday, we remember that our journey of faith did not begin with us. Others have carried their faith, wisdom, love, work, and gifts through generations, helping shape the community we have inherited. Through their lives and their struggles, God has remained present, continuing to lead and form God's people.

 

In Joshua 3:7–17, the Israelites stand at the Jordan River, preparing to enter a new chapter of their journey. Moses is gone, Joshua is leading, and the people must now take their own steps forward. As the priests carry the Ark of the Covenant into the river, it goes before the people, remains at the center while they cross, and stays until the community has passed through. No one person makes the crossing for everyone. Different people have different responsibilities, but together they move forward with God's covenant at the center.

 

The saints who came before us carried the covenant as far as they could. Now we stand on the banks of our own Jordan, with different gifts, experiences, and abilities placed among us. We are not all called to carry the same things, but each of us has a part in the shared work of faith. As we remember what has been entrusted to us, we are invited to consider a question that may shape what comes next: What is mine to carry?
