All Are Welcome

In the Sunday NightLights planning meeting, we discussed the phrase, "All are welcome." It was very important to the group to emphasize the fact that we are trying to remove barriers. Racial, economic, and denominational barriers for sure. But also the barriers that keep people from examining their spiritual life.
Clothes a little worn or dirty? No problem. You are welcome. No Bible or Bible knowledge? Don't worry. You are welcome. Just visiting with no particular spiritual interest? You are welcome. Unable to express yourself about life's big issues? You are welcome. Don't know the words to the songs? You are welcome. Angry at denominational groups that want to tell you how to live your life? You are welcome. Just hungry? You are welcome.
All are welcome.
