Fellow travelers on a journey ... Volunteers from this summer’s Vacation Bible School in Watonga walk the road together.
August: Full of possibilities
August used to be the longest of the summer months. One hot and lazy day followed the next as the sun baked the Bermuda grass brown. My summer lawn business was slower, which was fine since I was slower too. Hours of mowing and edging under blazing skies dulled my mind and created a kind of empty space which imagination filled. It was then, on those August days, that the future opened up with limitless possibility. <more>
A people born of longing
We are a people on the road, bound for a new home. Set free from nature’s instinctual constraints and experiencing the divisions wrought by our own destructive potential, we long to be healed and brought together into a new unity. Caught between earth and heaven, beast and angel, we struggle to give birth to a new humanity from the dust of old. We long for community.
Springing from the heart of God, born of Christ’s voluntary self-giving, that longed-for community grows. It includes ever-widening circles of diverse people. The church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, seeks to be loving community for the sake of the reunion of all people, the transformation of humanity and the healing of creation.
