You’re putting words to thoughts I’ve been pondering about the vital purpose of a local church in all its imperfections. We got to our home church today after two week’s absence, and I remembered again what keeps bringing me back despite the various and sundry issues we’re falteringly working through: 1) the people--they’re family, 2) the corporate worship; voices raised and ears alert and the Spirit moving.

Yes and amen. People are what makes the church complicated and they're also what makes it irreplaceable :) Thanks for reading, Loren!
“Welcome to this week’s gathering of our church” - love that.
Me too :)
