Yesterday I went to the back of the church while the children's choir was singing at the early service. I turned around and my heart skipped a beat. There in front of me was a choir of 10 or so children and only one of them was white. In fact, he wore a prosthesis for a left lower arm and hand and was not born in the U.S.
In that moment, I knew that what God dreamed for us at Christ United Methodist Church had materialized before my eyes. A new kind of church has emerged--one more reflective of the kingdom in all its magnificent glory. Thank you God for a refreshingly beautiful glimse of your kingdom come.
