NOTICE

Attention! Behind these doors we worship regularly with liars, thieves, gossips, backbiters, people with troubled marriages, alcoholics and drug addicts. We welcome hypocrites and jealous, envious, coveting, materialistic sinners of all sizes, shapes and colours.

But the good news is that we all have something in common. We have all learned that the Church, the body of Christ, is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints. We have all learned that the Lord is our rest, that he reaches out to save us, and that we are the redeemed community of the saints.

We come here to worship and to praise God, and to continually plan how we might be better agents of change, salt and light in a darkened world that needs the good news that Jesus saves. You are welcome, but be warned, that we take Christianity seriously!

I think I'll hand this out at church on Sunday - I like it.
