Our worship service makes concrete the claim that we are bound to one another, not by the balance (or negative balance) in our bank account, but by the God who restores us to loving relationships with ourselves, one another, and God.
There is certainly much work to be done. Giving away bus passes is one small step in the right direction - making getting from place to place a little bit easier, lightening the burden folks carry, and lifting people up so they can say, “Today is not going to be one of those days.” One bus pass at a time people are led to know Church of the Reconciler is with them and for them, just as God is with them and for them. Isn’t that the very purpose of ministry?
This week a guitar came in Church of the Reconciler’s mail. It wasn’t for our worship music ministry. It was for Jennifer, who recently signed up to get her mail at the church. She was so excited to pick up her guitar when she checked her mail at the church office. “It’s not much, just a cheap 50 dollar guitar,” Jennifer said, “but without a way to play music, I can get really lost in the world.”
