We find Jesus in the midst of all our emotions crying with us while at the same time saying to them and to us, “it will be alright.”

prayer can’t be isolated from opening ourselves up to stories, seeing people in their fullness, and the transformation of our own hearts.

So at this table, all are welcome. It is not because we said so. But we feel strongly that God says so.

We move so fast, we have been conditioned to hear what we want, that we rarely just sit and listen to a story.
