Episode 217: What Do You Do With The Mad You Feel?

SERIES - Worshiping In Mr. Rogers Neighborhood: What Do You Do With The Mad That You Feel?

In 1968, the Vietnam War was being fought; Bobby Kennedy had been shot. Mr. Rogers realized that children were aware of these events, but they had no place where it was safe to talk about these issues. We avoid those things we don’t understand and what we fear. On the program, King Friday builds a wall to keep out what he didn’t like or understand. How does fear build walls? How important is it for the church to be a place where we discuss those things we fear and about which we may be angry?


One of our #WholeLifeTakeAways this week asked: In the pursuit of neighborliness, this week who will you seek to understand better so you can be a better neighbor to them?


So, who can you reach out to this week? It may need to be a phone call, a video chat, or maybe a socially distanced, masked faced, cup of coffee, or walk in the park.…the pandemic has changed things for sure, but not so much that we shouldn’t be seeking ways for God to use us. Has someone reached out to you as a neighbor during the pandemic? We would love to hear your story!  Send us your thoughts by using one of the following:
