Introduction, Traditional Service, May 20, 2012
St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Florissant, MO

This is God’s house.
And in this place of worship there is a message.

In a world of too much suffering
and too little healing,
God has sent Jesus to heal us,
and to call on us to be healers in his name.
 
If you are in pain, the message of Jesus is yours.
If you live in guilt and shame, 
the message of Jesus is yours.
If you look into your heart and find emptiness,
the message of Jesus is yours.
 
There is beauty more profound than you can see,
that your Creator writes into the story of your life,
that Jesus whispers to you in every moment.
For you are God’s child. This is your home.

And there is love and acceptance for you
in this house.
