Help ReconcilingWorks welcome the newest Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community: Lutheran Church of Our Savior (Patchogue, NY).
Their welcome statement reads:
“Lutheran Church of Our Savior is a congregation with a big heart.
We all know how difficult it is to be new, but we want you to
know that no matter who you are or where you find yourself in
life, you are invited to join us for worship and fellowship. Come
to hear God’s Word, share in the Sacraments and discover new
ways to reach out to the world with God’s peace and grace.
Everyone is a child of God. From crying babies to enthusiastic
seniors, we recognize that we are all called to be one body with
many members. We welcome people of all races, ethnicities,
shapes and sizes of every marital status, political affiliation,
sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. Those of
different faith traditions; different physical, mental and emotional
abilities and those in recovery or struggling with addiction are
always welcome. We sincerely hope you join us in our journey
toward greater love, understanding, and mutual respect for each
other.
The bottom line: We Welcome You! We know that no matter
who you are, Jesus accepts you and so do we. May our prayers,
the hearing of God’s Word, and God’s grace and love make our
burdens lighter, our hearts encouraged, and our souls refreshed.”
