About

Have you ever hosted or attended a party where, all of a sudden the realization hits that there are more people than were planned for?  In no time at all, a frantic grab for chairs ensues and its no longer a priority (if it ever was) to have chairs or place settings match each other.  Soon nothing matches, but that is just fine because neither do the guests.  In reality, they probably never did.  People are as different as the chairs and places at the table end up being.  Its not important.  What is important is that everyone is there for the party and everyone is welcome.  It is our belief that this is what the kingdom of God was intended to be, and in fact it was wherever Jesus could be found.  Our prayer is that Jesus would be found within our community, through our gatherings around a common table with mismatched chairs.  Our prayer is that He would also be found through our serving and loving the city that we call home.
