Searching for the perfect church

Are you looking for the perfect church? Consider this little ditty:
If you could find the perfect church
Without one fault or smear
For goodness sake, don’t join that church
You’d spoil the atmosphere!
When it comes to church membership, there are two aspects to consider: finding a church you can love, and loving the church you’ve found. That’s the title of a little book by Kevin & Sherry Harney. This Sunday we look at the first part of that equation and next Sunday the second part. We will celebrate Holy Communion, recognizing that what matters above all is that we “preach Christ crucified” (I Corinthians 1:10-25).
