ALL ARE WELCOME here – v2

The words of hope

of our desire

what we believe

our hope as a people

living by our creed

Open hearts, open minds,

open doors to one another

come, join us

ALL ARE WELCOME;

come, enter in

The words on our sign

before the entrance

a sign for the others

calling to our brothers, our sisters,

our neighbors in this place

A desire for union

for full inclusion

knowing we need them

all God’s children

all the people on earth

posting on my Facebook page

“my 'heart' sinks with your continued association with the United Methodist church. God's Word clearly says that the Lord’s command is no females are allowed to be leaders. 1 Cor. 14:33-38; 1 Tim 2:12-3:12. Violating God's Word is not a recommended path to follow.”
