Gateway: It's Personal

For those who would ask whether they are "too broken" or "unworthy" to step foot into a church, the community of Clear Lake Texas has answered them. This blog features hundreds of postcards from individuals within the church and the community who have anonymously shared their deeply personal issues with the world. Hopefully this will begin to provide some dialogue and understanding that the church exists explicitly for the broken and unworthy. Everyone has challenges which they have to face. Hopefully we will realize that we need to be more open and intentional about reaching out to those around us... even if it's just by sharing our story.

Fourth Set

If I counted right, we have about 184 cards that we received during our "It's Personal" series. People were so brave to address some of their deepest personal issues and share them with others. If people continue to send cards in (can be any postcard) then we'll put them up. Something like this can be a good opportunity to address issues in our own lives as well as share with others what we're going through in a safe way.
