You are Welcome Here!
We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, gay, or filthy rich. We would love to see you if you are 6th generation Canadian, or arrived in Canada this morning, or this is the only home your Ancestors have ever known. We extend a special welcome to those who are new-borns, poor as dirt, skinny as a rail, don’t know about this God thing, or just plain can't sing. You're welcome here if you're "just browsing," just woke up, or just got out of jail. We don't care what denomination you are, or you haven’t seen a church since little Carrie’s Baptism. We don’t care if you’re more Lutheran than Luther, or more Catholic than the Pope, or haven't been in church since Bobby's Confirmation. We extend a special welcome to those who are over 40 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome Hockey moms, starving artists, Rodeo dads, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, junk-food eaters, and people who stay up too late at night. If you're having problems, or you're down in the dumps, or you don't like "organized religion", we get that. If you blew all your offering money at the casino, you're welcome here. We offer a special welcome to those who could lose a few pounds, think the earth is flat, work too hard, can't spell, or came because grandma's in town and wanted to go to church. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, are three-times divorced, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid, or pulled off the highway for directions and wound up here by mistake. We welcome tourists, seekers, doubters, bleeding hearts ... and you! Welcome Home! (inspired by Coventry Cathedral Welcome) |
