Help ReconcilingWorks welcome a recent Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community:
First Lutheran Church in DeKalb, Illinois.
Their welcome statement reads:
“There is a place for you here at First Lutheran Church.
All people are created in God’s image to be different, beautiful, unique, and a beloved child of God. You are accepted and affirmed just as you are – with all your differences and all your gifts.
Jesus calls us to love God and one another, to practice radical hospitality, to serve all without stipulations and to seek reconciliation and wholeness in our life together and in our outreach to the world. We invite you to join us, no matter your race, culture, ethnicity, age, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, who you love, physical and mental abilities, socioeconomic position, family status, background, political leanings, or where you are in your faith journey.
We commit ourselves to embracing the work of anti-racism, social and economic justice, and environmental care.
Our prayer for you is that the Holy Spirit moves you to join us, as through Christ, we joyfully and inclusively love and serve God’s world through our community.“
