Travel with me, now, to a winter’s night sometime in 2021. It is pitch black outside, and I am at my dining room table, zooming with our youth group. Our middle schoolers take turns checking in, and answering the question of the day, “How do you describe our church to your friends?” One young person is having internet difficulties at home, so we can’t see his face or hear his voice, but he types into the chat box his response to my question. We all see it pop up at the same time, and read along:
“I say to my friends that it is a church the likes of which they have never seen.”
And, we laughed the way you all just laughed, and man did we need it that night.
