A SPECIAL WELCOME…
We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, filthy rich, dirt poor,
yo habla ingles. We extend a special welcome to those who are crying new-borns, skinny as
a rail or could afford to lose a few pounds.
We welcome you if you can sing like a bird, or you can’t carry a note in a bucket. You’re welcome here
if you’re “just browsing,” just woke up or just got out of jail. We don’t care if you’re more catholic
than the pope, or haven’t been in church since little Joey’s baptism.
We extend a special welcome to those who are over 6 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are
growing up to fast. We welcome soccer moms, Nascar dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, “latte-sippers, vegetarians, and junk-food eaters. We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome
you if you’re having problems or you’re down in the dumps or if you don’t like “organized religion,”
we’ve been there, too.
If you blew all your offering money at the dog track, you’re welcome here. We offer a special welcome
to those who think the earth is flat, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or because grandma is in
town and wanted to go to church.
We welcome those who are inked, pierced, or both. We offer a special welcome to those who could
use a prayer right now. Have a big family, no family, no friends or lots of friends, had religion shoved
down your throat as a kid or got lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake. We welcome tourists,
seekers and doubters, red-necks, bleeding hearts… and you!
