Pastor Andy Cooke says being part of the church can be hard work sometimes. Our relationships are a constant balancing act between grace and accountability, kindness and truth, acceptance and aspiration. Being part of the church is challenging, but I think that it is practice for how we interact with the rest of the world. On Sunday, we will look at the letter of 2nd Thessalonians and see how this challenge has been with us since the beginning of the Christian church. I hope that you'll join us and consider how we might continue to be formed and reformed into a more Christ-like community.
