Help ReconcilingWorks welcome a recent Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community:
Faith Lutheran Church in Andover, Massachusetts.
Their welcome statement reads:
” ‘My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.’ – John 15:12
Faith Lutheran Church is a community of faith that believes that each person is a beloved child of God. We welcome all because God welcomes all people, regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity or culture. We welcome people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expressions, or relationship status. We recognize each individual’s inherent dignity and worth.
We rejoice in the presence of all people of every ability, age, race, socioeconomic situation, personal history, or legal status, without regard to addictions, physical or mental health, imprisonment, education, or anything that too often divides us. We are committed to work for racial equity and justice.
Whether you are a lifelong resident or new to the community, a believer or new to the faith, hurt by the church or a seeker of God’s presence, you are welcome here. ‘Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.’ – Romans 15:7
Our unity is in Christ!“
