So what is church really?

I remember when I was a kid playing that game where you interlock your fingers into a fist and say, “Here’s the church, here’s the steeple, open it up and see all the people.” It was fun that I could hold a little church in my hand, but as I grew up, I noticed that not many churches looked like that anymore (with a great big steeple and wiggly finger people!). And even more difficult for me was when my pastor told me that the church WAS the people and not really the building at all! After spending time in conversations with folks here at Faith I am realizing more and more how very true that is. Its great to see us beginning to become more and more a people that are BEING the church in our daily lives. For a long time here we’ve been a small family church, but even with our growth, we have not lost that feeling here. I am proud to see us working so hard through this change and growth to remember to BE the church and care for all the people of God. So, as we begin this new website blog, we would love to hear and share some stories of places, moments, or situations where you have seen the church — the body of Christ in action — recently. They can be from events or moments here at Faith Lutheran Church or anywhere! Please feel free to post below in our brand new blog!
