An Open Invitation
To all who are weary and need rest, to all who mourn and need comfort, you are welcome in this House of Worship. To all who are friendless and need friendship, you are invited to join us in fellowship. To all whose hearts are heavy with personal struggle and weakness, we recognize that we all stand in the need for grace. In the name of Jesus—who comforts, sustains, and forgives all who come to him—this church opens its doors to everyone.
