Love grows here...


There is a song that our choir has kind of adopted as their theme song. It’s certainly a favorite of the entire congregation. It’s called Love Grows Here.

Perhaps, what creates such a strong connection with this song, is that our church really seems to do well at the idea of love. We are open to visitors, we care about others, our missions work in the community is a testament to how much we love.

As a small group of us were discussing this song, and the message that it brings, we talked about making the title, Love Grows Here, a kind of mantra for the church. We could put it on our bulletins, on our newsletters, on our letterhead.

I guess this discussion was still in my mind when I came across this verse, from Proverbs 10:12, “Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.”

Let’s be a church, a people of God, where love truly does cover all wrongs. Where love truly can grow here.
