KRISTINA
Good morning! My name is Kristina Crabtree and I am the Minister of Spiritual
Formation at Central United Methodist Church. We here at Central value the
atmosphere of community. You will hear us say, “Life is better connected.” We
truly believe that life is better connected. Even Jesus was connected to his
community of disciples in his time of earth.
I found this quote by Parker Palmer. It states, “Community is the place where
the person you least want to live with always lives.” You might be thinking to
yourself, “that doesn’t sound like community at all. Well, a community is not a
place where you can sort of love people. You either love them or don’t. With that
said, community is a place where your love is tested and purified.
Who was Jesus’ community? Those whom the world considered nothing. May
you take your community and truly take those around you in and love freely and
not sort of love. If you don’t have a community, we at Central will joyfully take
you in the midst of imperfections and humanness. Join us at Central, where life
is better connected.
