Welcome!
A
congregation gathers on a Sunday morning. There has been a lot of preparation.
The altar has been set, bulletins have been printed, the heat turned up.
The choir has practiced, the children have been at Sunday School. The words
of Scripture, the hymns, the sermon, the prayers have challenged and inspired.
All have come to the altar rail for Christ's body and blood. The fellowship
of coffee hour awaits. The Church, St. Paul said, is the body of Christ
and each a member. It's true! Never perfect, filled with all sorts and
characters. And yet, a beautiful living organism of God's grace.
