The Church is Called Christian (AKA: The Church is Choosing Hope)

Let me tell you, we need each other. We need each other’s support and care. Some might need a friendly face, support of food or gifts, prayer, comfort. We are here together because many folks have been able to think creatively and bring their gifts to worship and technology. And we still need each other, still need support, still need help to continue our work of worship together.

Making it Through

But we did. The church survived the persecution, its own splintering, its failure to live into the mission. Again and again the Spirit comes as advocate, as counselor, as vision giver, as encouragement and one who walks along, to bring us life, to renew life, to offer courage, to remind us again and again that this moment is not the end.

Church, this moment is not the end.
