One More Thing to be Thankful

Well what can I tell you, Connection is a un-church, out of the box place where we have been meeting for the last two years. Sometimes we have a place to meet, sometimes we have a house, sometimes we have a band, sometimes we have tables, sometimes we sing as angels, sometimes you really don't want to listen to us!, sometimes we have a big crowd, sometimes we are only a few, but the most important thing is that we have each other. Connection is a group of people American and Hispanics getting together and becoming the church. I, of course, am the one who started this crazy stuff that sometimes I feel the most inadequates person to be leading it, but the friends and family I have gained, the tears and joys I have experienced, the frustrations and excitements I have endured are not to be take away from me. People are tired of Institutional religion, because let me tell you even in your house you will be organized. Institutional is what keeping people to really and truly find God. We are a group where everybody can come and BE the church with all the imperfections, flawless, weaknesses, and adventures. And with a “cerveza” in our hand, we can say “Salud!(cheers)” and invite people to our table. People in the other side of the ocean take very seriously when they invite a person to eat with them at their house. They are not only sharing a meal, but their are sharing their friendship, their are offering a close relationship with them. Isn’t that what Jesus did in the last supper?....Hey!! people from Connection if your read this: THANK YOU VERY MUCH for giving me the opportunity to serve you.
