Help ReconcilingWorks welcome the newest Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community:
Light of Christ Lutheran Church in LaPorte, Texas.
Their welcome statement reads:
“We at Light of Christ Lutheran Church are an inclusive and welcoming Christian community. We celebrate the diversity of the Body of Christ and reflect God’s care and goodness in our shared life. We strive for the church to embody the broad beauty of the region we are called to serve.
We openly welcome the LGBTQIA+ community, people in recovery or seeking recovery (alcoholics, drug addicts, and Al-Anon families), people with physical disabilities and challenges, people with mental health challenges, people of all racial groups and ethnicities, and people of all economic circumstances. We dedicate ourselves to the ongoing work of reconciliation including justice for the LGBTQ community and the pursuit of racial equity.
We invite everyone to join in our reconciling community through worship, rites, sacraments, participation and leadership in this congregation.“
