I’m setting here in our empty living room wondering, “where is everyone”. Tonight we are reestablishing our church’s Friday evening home group… and I am at peace. I am at peace because I trust everyone that was invited. I trust them when they are here and I trust them when they are not. They are where they need to be. They are where Jesus sent his followers, “out there”. Some are with family or friends while others are working or playing a gig. We are just as much the church when dispersed as assembled. Wherever we are, we’re being salt and light (or at least trying to be). Trust brings peace, and there is no better foundation on which to reestablish this Friday group.
