The opening page of our church website says, "A Place for all God's Children." I love watching as a phrase that was half true when we coined it begins to become more and more true. Our congregation is full of people from different social classes, diverse age groups, and ethnic backgrounds. We have people who are dependent and codependent, addicts/recovering addicts and the people who love them, happilly married people and people suffering through broken marriages, exconvicts and the people who visit the incarcerated, people who are baby Christians and life-long Christians.
When I look out over our congregation I know that I can say with integrity that our congregation is a place for all God's children. I know in my heart that that is the way Jesus wants it.
