Re-Opening the Church
One of the questions people have been asking lately around here is, "When are we re-opening the church?" But the truth is, the church has never been closed. The presence of God, active through the people of God has continued, despite our challenging circumstances. But for many, the pandemic has caused drift and disconnection from what God is doing in and through this community. So what would it take for our drift to become devotion? What does it look like, even in a season when we can't gather as usual, to re-engage in God's work through ordinary people like us? What does it look like, even when we can't re-open our buildings, to re-open our hearts and lives to be the church this year more than ever?
