Help ReconcilingWorks welcome a new Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community:
Resurrection Lutheran Church in Ankeny, Iowa.
Their welcome statement reads:
“The community of Resurrection Lutheran Church welcomes all people because Jesus Christ welcomes us, loves us, and reconciles us to God and to one another.
We believe that God gathers us together by the gift of baptism, strengthens us to love our neighbors, and sends us out into our community. We are called to do justice, to love mercy, and to serve humbly, following the example of Jesus.
You are welcome regardless of age, appearance, language, race, nationality, immigration status, brain or physical health, addiction, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, political values, history of incarceration, economic status, place on your faith journey, or anything else that distinguishes between people. We are committed to the work of anti-hunger, anti-racism, and breaking down barriers that divide us from one another. We welcome you to participate fully in the life and ministries of Resurrection Lutheran Church: attend services and events, receive communion, join as a member, fill leadership roles, belong in community, teach, serve, learn, and above all, feel loved and safe.“
