On this Satisfied Saturday, I am grateful for the church.
As I was preparing for Pentecost Sunday tomorrow, and an Affirmation of Baptism, I was reminded of the gifts the church brings - diversity, teaching, example, friends, encouragement, worship, generations, story, and more. Yes, the church can act in painful ways and has hurt many over the decades; the church can be stoic and judgmental; the church can exclude instead of include, etc. The church has faults. But at its best and most basic, the church, the body of God’s people, is there because of God’s love. And we need one another, which is a good reminder of this gift from God.
Blessings. And prayers.
