bulletin board from the Magnificat in The Message
Fairlawn-West United Church of Christ in Akron, OH. Offering Hospitality to All God's Children
We are a group of people who are part of a church, but trying not just to be a "church". We are really trying to be "Church." Do you know what we mean? We are working hard at asking God for help in overcoming the ways for years we have become exclusionary. We are asking God to help us to "let go and let God" which sounds good, but we are still trying to get more clues about what that means for us and the whole bloomin world. We believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, but when we talk about what that means, we find there is a lot of variety among us. And there are some of us who are tired of talking and just trying to "do it."
