Scripture Reading: Luke 3:15-17, 21-22(NRSVUE)
Proclaiming: Rev. Molly Shoulta Tucker

Welcome to Ridgewood!
As a progressive congregation, we believe that the God who created the universe, as told through the poetry of Genesis, created human beings out of a place of Love. As scripture tells us in 1 John 4:8, "God is Love." This is our starting point as individuals, a community, and a world.
In other words, all of God's creatures and all God's people are wonderfully and fearfully made, reflecting the diverse and eccentric Image of God - individually and collectively. No race, gender, or sexuality stands superior to another.
