One of the things that I love about my church family is everyone treats one another with grace, accepts one another with love, and welcomes one another with joy.

Matthew 9:36-38 / When Jesus saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
