I am very excited about our life together here at Central. I am excited because I sense the power of the Holy Spirit alive and well in our midst. The evidence of that is in "the love we show one to another." We might disagree about the proper style of worship, or wrestle with the meaning of ancient creeds in these modern times, but as long as love is our rule, then the Christ whose name we carry lives within us. "So faith, hope, love abide, these three, but the greatest of these is love." (1 Cor, 13:13)
I am excited about our life together, because I see us trying to live into our Mission Statement, one that says that we are a deliberately diverse and fully inclusive family of faith. I cannot help but believe that the One we worship is pleased and will bless such a stance.
Love to you all,
Greg
