Welcome Home

Welcome Home

A special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, “Its complicated”, filthy rich or dirt poor.  There is a place for you if you are over 62, but not grown up yet, or a teenager growing up to fast.  Toddlers who are wriggly, and children full of wonder and exploration, you are welcome here.

We welcome soccer moms, NASCAR dads, Yankees, Mets and Sox Fans, starving artists, those in recovery and those who are still addicted.  We welcome you if you sing like Pavarotti or can’t carry a tune in a bucket.  You are welcome here if you are just browsing, just woke up, just got bored at your current church or visiting family in the Sand Lake, Averill Park Area.

We don’t care if it’s your first Sunday this Millennium or whether you’ve been to church more times than you can count.  We welcome you if you’re having problems or feeling overwhelmed.  If you are looking for a fresh start, a fresh cup of hot coffee or a hug from a new friend, there is a place for you here.   We welcome those wearing their Sunday best and those wearing their only clothes.  We are glad to see those who are inked, pierced or both, those who could use a prayer right now and those who haven’t been to church since their Great Aunt’s funeral.  We welcome you if you’re here because you made a navigation error and wound up here by mistake.  We welcome seekers, the lost, the found and especially you. Welcome!
