PASTOR’S MESSAGE
So, how did that make you feel? In my time as a pastor I have heard
countless stories from people who have heard that from their church:
• A divorced women getting re-married, told that their Pastor would not
do the wedding.
• A teen-age boy finally coming out as openly gay, forced to stand in
front of the congregation and repent.
• A talented musician refused membership at a local church for playing
music on the weekend at bars.
• An overweight woman being prayed for to “cast out the demons of
gluttony:.
• A family, fallen on economic hardship, being told “this church is for
‘up-and-comers’, not ‘down-and-outers’”
We constantly say, “All are welcome” in this place. Do we really mean it?
Pastor Peter
Jesus taught us to love one another. Our churches send workers to all
parts of the world to spread God’s love to all people. We believe that our
mission should include those who are in prison. We are all saints and
sinners at the same time. All of us need forgiveness. Many of the inmates
are eager to hear that God still loves them.
Many of the people coming out of prison would like to turn their lives
around, find a job, re-connect with their families and never return. The
goal of the COPE program is to provide them with encouragement and
moral support to help them in this endeavor
