Christianity for the Rest of Us
Who are the Rest of Us?
- People who are motivated by love, but not by fear
- People who describe themselves as Christians, but not necessarily as evangelicals
- People who take the bible seriously, but not always literally
- People who try hard to live well, but do not worry too much about getting our beliefs exactly “right”
- People who believe Jesus taught a most excellent way, but do not reject other paths to God
- People who recognize our differences, but do not exclude those who are different
Why Litchfield Presbyterian?
Because YOU…
- believe that God is real, but have lots of questions
- are turned off by a “high pressure” approach to religion
- are just as interested in “life before death” as in “life after death”
- want to do something to make your community and your world a better place
- would like a preacher who talks with you not “at” you
- would like a friendly and welcoming church family
If any of these describe you, then you may be one of “the rest of us,” and we think you would feel right at home here!
