Forgiveness

FORGIVENESS – PART THREE

I want more than vengeance to keep me warm at night. I want forgiveness to make me free.

Jesus doesn’t mess around. His command to “love your enemies” isn’t optional, and it sure isn’t easy. What if forgiveness doesn’t start with feelings at all, but with radical action?

Life in Christian community guarantees loss. Something will break. Trust. Expectations. My illusion of control. Every member of the church should be honest and just say: I will disappoint you one day. Pretending otherwise sets us up for a deeper fracture.

Why We Exist for the Whole Church

From the beginning, our mission has been bigger than ourselves. We’ve always believed that our experiments—our risks, our mistakes, and our discoveries—were meant to serve the wider Church.

How Community at St. Gregory’s Really Works

Each of us has the authority to help others grow in community. We share our life in common. We give away what we can, so that others can see a clear way in.

What is Faith?

Faith is how we say “yes” to that divine love. But again, it’s not about belief in abstract doctrines. Faith is a way of life. It’s choosing to trust. It’s showing up with loyalty, day after day, in the hope that we will be transformed by love.

How Can We Be Real Partners in Ministry?

As we make plans to be partners in ministry with our neighbors, we need to cultivate curiosity about the world outside our church doors. Curiosity is powerful—it moves us from certainty to transformation, changing us through the people we meet.

Begin With Stories

When we talk about evangelism, we often assume it means something we don’t like. That assumption is one reason evangelism fails. But here’s the truth: everybody practices evangelism in one way or another.

Making Beauty Together

A special thing about St Gregory’s is the way we work together to make church. We do this especially during Holy Week and Easter. I invite you to take a peek behind the scenes and join us in making beauty together this year.
