A few years ago, God brought us together in a unique way.  There was hardly anything we had in common.  The one thing we have in common is our love for who Jesus is and what he has done, and continues to do, for us. Through that experience of getting to know each other and growing in love we have arrived at this Scriptural truth: God loves everyone; Jesus wants everyone to gather around His table to celebrate their differences; and the Holy Spirit leads us, even when we do not know how, in making this world more like God’s kingdom where God’s love, peace and joy reigns.
