All Good Things

Church used to be
Services and groups
Ministries and music
Programs and classes

All for the purpose

Of helping people
Connect with God
Connect with each other
Encourage each other

All good things

But these things I have now

In spite of church
Not because of church

Church is now

Seeing God in the world around me
Any honest conversation
Easing someone’s pain
Being open to what comes next

Easier
Less complicated
Fewer rules

A church stripped of

Place and program

A church where 

People can see each other
And God
More clearly
