Description:
I love to hear this familiar, jaunty little melody from the time and place of our shared services in the sanctuary. It makes me want to physically go to church. The order of the words on the title has always bothered me a little bit though: If someone has "entered," doesn't that mean they have also already "come in?"
Then I got to thinking about it a little more and thought about the difference between just entering a physical or a Zoom room versus coming all the way in to a community and realized my own process with finding this community was a bit like that. I entered the doors with skepticism that I could find any place called a "church" where I would feel safe and happy. Then, I rejoiced at the community I found here and decided to come all the way in, try your coffee, talk to some folks, and now the rest is history. My hope is that all who enter our space, whether virtual or physical, will find this to be a place they can rejoice in beloved community and decide to come all the way in with us.
As always, our sincere thanks goes out to Eva for her work on the music and choosing it to share with us.
