A Little Church

In the Woods

By Colleen WaltersPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

A new little church just opened.

a little steeple rises in a

quiet neighborhood

in a serene woodland setting.

voices and spirits rise up

past the rafters

up above the treetops

into the heavens

hearts sing a song

of an ancient story of

how sinners became saints

coffee brewed

peppers taunted

smiles and stories

bounced around an

endless table

come as you are

no suit, no problem

your "Sunday best" is

you

not your clothes

just being your self

a place where the broken

are welcome

are wanted

are seen

are heard

are healed

a sanctuary

where miracles are

just waiting

to happen

A new little church just opened,.

“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭20‬ ‭NKJV
