Okay, so we're not going to call it Hogwarts,
and H.P. fans of all ages
haven't noticed
that the church building we are buying
is a massive stone gothic wonder
with staircases and half hidden rooms
and all sorts of mysterious crevices and closets.
After a year of worrying
where we would go next,
old church building outgrown and sold,
cleared land on the mountain
too expensive to build,
this came like a gift from God...
the right building,
the right downtown location,
the right time.
There is a new spirit
in this congregation,
undampened by the bajillion meetings
necessary to make the move.
Suddenly we have a vision again.
Suddenly we have a home.
But I would still stick
with this crazy congregation,
if we were to spend the next year
meeting in a McDonald's parking lot.
The people make me think and laugh,
the worship helps me grow,
the children breathe fresh air into everything,
and it is the warm welcome that has given me home
in my own wanderings.
