All Are Welcome
We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, gay, filthy rich, dirt poor, y no habla ingles.
We extend a special welcome to those who are crying new-borns, skinny as a rail, or could afford to lose a few pounds.
We welcome you if you can sing like Andrea Bocelli or like our pastor who can’t carry a note in a bucket.
You’re welcome here if you’re “just browsing,” just woke up, or just got out of jail.
We don’t care if you’re more Catholic than the Pope, or haven’t been in church since little Joey’s baptism.
We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast!
We welcome soccer moms, golfer dads, Browns and Steelers fans, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte sippers, vegetarians, junk-food eaters.
We welcome those who are in recovery or are still addicted.
We welcome you if you’re having problems, or you’re down in the dumps, or you don’t like “organized religion.” If you blew all your offering money at the casino, you’re welcome here.
We offer a special welcome to those who work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or came because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church.
We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both.
We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid, or got lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake.
We welcome all ages to share their gifts and talents.
We welcome the flexible and inflexible, tolerant and intolerant, those who laughed as well as those who gasped at this welcome card.
We welcome travelers, seekers, doubters and you!
