VUE Church George Stull

George led us in two practices this morning: a centering prayer around love and to the table for the Eucharist.

A DEFINITION OF LOVE
"To love is to act intentionally, in sympathetic/empathetic response to God and others, to promote overall well-being. Possibilities for uniquely profound and redemptive acts of love become available as people unite in Christian community. Without being engaged in the practices and liturgies of the church, some expressions of love are simply not possible. "
—Dr. Thomas Oord, The Nature of Love: A Theology

We all experience and love God in a diversity of beautiful ways. Everyone’s faith is enriched when we can trust our unique path and experiences of God while recognizing the truth and beauty of another’s.

What is a church? It is a community of people held together not by power but by love. Simply put, any notion of a church must be a fully practical church that is concerned about getting the job of love done—and done better and better.



A church is made up of genuinely good people who are, from the deepest levels of their understanding and motivation, committed to promoting the good of everyone.
