Welcome from the Rector
You are welcome here.
Why do I enjoy serving our Church of the Holy Spirit so much? The answer comes from a psalm: I was glad when they said to me, let
us go into the house of the Lord. (Ps. 122)
I feel a deep joy when we worship God together. In our worship, we remember God's love
for all of us, without respect to any worldly condition of life, or any
worthiness on our part, but solely because we are precious to God. This gives us deep joy, which heals
and strengthens us to serve our broken world.
"What are you looking for? What can I do for you?" Jesus asked those questions of his
followers. He could have just
told them the answers - but the very person who knew the hearts and minds of
men and women so well that they began to believe he must have super-natural
powers - did not always give people the answers. Sometimes he just asked them
thoughtful questions, and I believe he still asks us today: " What are
you looking for? What can I do
for you?"
I invite you to come and share with us the deep gladness of
worship, and answer the questions you have between God and yourself. We are an open, welcoming and
inclusive church committed to seeking God, knowing and loving God, and
serving God in each other and the world around us... because God first came
looking for us, knows and loves us so well, and serves us still.
