The Church

is not s country club. It's a hospital. It exists for the healing of people for whom God created, loves, and died an agonizing death for.

The Church is to be a welcoming organism, a place of love, fellowship, and healing.

What an awesome thing it is--that our God loves each of us and wishes to be in close fellowship with us. And that He has made the means. His will is that each of us be forgiven and reconciled to Himself, and fully restored.

We celebrate Him and that reality tomorrow morning here at the hermitage as the worshipping community of Chapel of St. Francis. Welcome.
