Many Peoples

On Sunday we worshiped at Many Peoples Church in Chicago where my brother John is a pastor. Over the years we've come to cherish our time there and the people of Many Peoples Church. In the second picture below are just a few of us who gathered for worship; Greg, Max, Ruthie Hoekwater, Dawn Marie, JB, and Greg. We ate at the Lord's Table together, passing the bread and cup to one another while reminding each other that the body and blood of Jesus was given for "you."
We have been blessed by this community and so it seemed fitting to spend our first Sunday of sabbatical with them. It was also fitting to share some food after the service.
I'm including a picture of me, Max, my brother John, Ruthie, their daughter Sarah, her husband Rehman, and their precious son Élan.
