"There is something special about gathering on Sunday mornings to worship the faithful God who created everything: time, space, and matter. Together we make material offerings, including our very selves, at a specific time and in a specific place which have been set aside for that specific purpose. We experience the beauty of God’s creation, the love of Jesus Christ, and the unity of the Holy Spirit as we come into the very presence of our triune God, who alone is worthy of our praise. I am awed by it every single week."
