Who Am I? Who Are You? Who Might We Be Together?

At Christ Church, we say that we are a spiritual home for all people.

And that word – home – has weight. Not just as a place we go, but as a space where we’re invited to become. A spiritual home isn’t merely defined by architecture or programs, but by a shared commitment to growth, belonging, and love. It’s not just about being welcomed in; it’s about being willing to stay curious—about God, about each other, and even about ourselves.

Paul’s image of the Church as the Body of Christ – with many parts, all connected and needed – reminds us that true community doesn’t ask for sameness. It invites us to recognize the sacredness of difference. And in doing so, it calls us into deeper relationship with the whole. When one part suffers, we all suffer. When one part rejoices, we all rejoice. It’s not always easy, but it is holy.

That’s why I keep returning to these three questions: Who am I? Who are you? Who might we be together?

These aren’t questions to answer once and move on. They’re questions to return to regularly, daily even, like a spiritual practice. They open space for honesty, humility, and the kind of wisdom that only comes when we allow God's Spirit to shape us in community over and over again.

This Sunday, we’ll celebrate the Feast of Pentecost – the day the Holy Spirit moved like wind and flame and gave birth to the Church’s becoming in a whole new way. It’s a reminder that God’s Spirit still moves in us and among us, still inviting us to become something new and a little more whole – together.

So, come. Come to Christ Church this Pentecost. Come with your questions, your hopes, your longing to belong. Come and let us breathe deeply of God’s Spirit again, that we might live, and move, and grow into the community God dreams for us.

Church, let’s keep on becoming – with the Spirit’s help – all over again.

A Prayer for Becoming

Holy One, make of this place a true home for all. Teach us to live with open hearts and curious minds. Send your Spirit to stir us, shape us, and send us, that we might become who you’ve made us to be in witness to your ever-redeeming grace, together.

Amen.
