You are welcome here. 
Come with your gifts, your pain, your hope, your fears
Come with the traditions that have helped you and hurt you
Come with your experiences that have made you and broken you
Come with a mind, ready to engage, and a heart, open to discern
Come and listen for the Holy Spirit that calls you to love your neighbor  
wholeheartedly, seek justice, create peace and practice compassion. 
You are welcome here.
