a quotation for your afternoon pleasure

I am getting ready to go grocery shopping for a dinner at church tonight. We are watching a video of a play inspired by Feiler's Abraham, A Journey of Three Faiths. The play is called Abraham's Calling. Trish appeared in the play and served as dramaturg. If you are going to be near CCW at, say, 6:30...then swing on by.

Anyway, here's a quotation to keep you busy for a bit. Be well!

Though it hardly seems possible now, we cling to the hope that
God's City will be established in the gift of the new heavens
and the new earth. Our work is to live by the customs of the new
City before it has fully come to be. In this way, the church
draws the world to God. We hold forth not a condemning, but a
welcoming word. All nations are invited to come to this City.
And the quality of our interactions as a community will be a
stronger witness than our words. The vibrancy of our worship
will be a beacon of light that draws people home from the long
darkness they have endured.
