We extend a special welcome ... to those who are single, married, divorced, partnered, gay, straight, filthy rich, dirt poor, or struggle to speak English. We extend a special welcome to those who are crying newborns, fidgety toddlers, or insecure middle schoolers. We welcome you whether you're skinny as a rail, or could afford to lose a few pounds.

We welcome you if you can sing like Luciano Pavarotti or can't carry a tune in a bucket. You're welcome here if you're 'just browsing,' just woke up, or just got out of jail. We don't care if you're more Anglican than the Archbishop of Canterbury, more Lutheran than Martin Luther, more Catholic than the Pope, more Presbyterian than John Calvin, more Methodist than John Wesley, or more Baptist than John Smith. We don't care if you've never stepped foot in a church before or haven't been in church since little Joey's baptism or Aunt Sally's funeral.

We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up but far too fast. We welcome soccer moms and football dads, starving artists, tree huggers, latté-sippers, vegetarians, and junk food eaters. We welcome those who are addicted whether in recovery or not. We welcome you if you're having problems, you're down in the dumps, or are suffering in body, mind, or spirit. We extend an especially warm welcome to those who don't like 'organized religion' (we're not always as organized as you might think).
