The Church Has Left the Building

By Reverend Margaret Weis

The church is not a place; it is a people.

The church is not walls built stone upon stone, held together by mortar but rather person, linked with person, linked with person: all ages and abilities-a community built on the foundation of reason, faith, and love.

The church is not just a set of doors open on Sunday morning, but the commitment day after day, moment after moment, of our hearts creaking open the doors of welcome to the possibility of new experience and radical welcome.

The church is not simply a building, a steeple, a pew.

The church is the gathering together of all the people, and experiences, and fear, and love and hope in our resilient hearts; gathering however we can, to say to the world: welcome, come in, lay down your heartache, and pick up hope and love.

For the church is us-each and every one of us-together, a beacon of hope to this world that so sorely needs it.

See you at Open Studios on Saturday!
