An Invitation to Community

 As God has welcomed us, we welcome you.

With all our differences–

in age, ability and physical condition,

in race, cultural background and economic status,

in sexual orientation, gender identity & family structure–

God has received each one

with loving kindness, patience, and joy.

All that we are together

and all that we hope to be

is made more perfect

as the richness of varied lives

meets the mystery of God’s unifying Spirit

and we become the Body of Christ.
