We are a Christian community called to worship God by impacting our neighborhood through meeting physical, educational and spiritual needs, resulting in devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Ethos, our church, has been a wonderful answer to prayer. When Erik and I moved back from LB we wanted to find a church together. As we set out on our hunt we came upon many amazing churches although none of them felt right for us. In Sept 2008 Ethos began; we were there for the very first night. Ethos is truly OUR church and it has been a really good year of growing with the church. I am so excited to see what God has in store for Ethos and everyone involved in this upcoming year!!
Last Sunday Erik painted throughout the service, Here's what he came up with
The people at the bottom represent the Church, followers of Jesus Christ. Above that are people and circumstances that we have a tendency to ignore or become judgmental and dismissive of: war, death, politics, homosexual rights protests, homelessness, and sexual perversion. We as followers of Jesus have been called to be the light of the world. The hope and truth that God has given us are meant to be shared with all. I believe we are not called to stay in our own circle where we feel safe and comfortable but rather, to reach out to others, meet them where they are at and be a light for them. The painting represents the Church being a light for the world.
And then, here's the artist with two of his biggest fans :)
