Peace to you who were far away and..near

Fall was our one year anniversary. It was awesome! We had an entire gathering dedicated to celebrating what God had done among us, including an open mic. The best part was hearing stories not only from people who were long-time Christ followers, but also newer Christ followers as well as not yet Christ followers who all felt this was a safe, comfortable environment for themselves and their friends. We were reassured that it is possible to create a church that goes deep (deeply rooted in Christ) and wide (welcoming of all, regardless of their circumstances), and praise God for that.

"He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near." Ephesians 2:17 (NIV)
