A Community of Embrace

As we grow in knowing Him who loves us, we experience a community which reflects His Spirit working in us... producing "affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity... a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely."
Galatians 5:22 (The Message)

"God loves us just as we are, and not as we should be."
