This Sunday is a remarkable day in the life of the church, a day which many consider to be the birth of the church. And who did God choose to witness this glorious day, who was to be the ambassadors tasked to send forth his word into the world? Well, the names listed in our reading show us that it represented all of the known world at that time. So, on that day, God was reaching out to all people, in all places, with a message that transcended all barriers constructed by people, to separate people. In this new day, and in this new church, all were worthy to hear God’s message, all were welcome in God’s sight.

At Campbell-Stone United Church we know that this is as true today as it ever was, and that is why every week we celebrate our search for greater understanding of how God’s universal language ever expands our sense of God’s infinite grace.

And so whoever you are, and wherever you are in your faith journey, you are welcome to share our worship, as we together wonder in awe at the openness of a God that speaks to all who will allow themselves the freedom to listen.
