It's been said that Christians "see with their ears."  That is, we understand God, ourselves, and the world around us as the Holy Spirit helps us understand God's Word.  So, we gather every week to listen again to the Story of what God has done - and is still doing - through Jesus Christ.  Then in faith and repentance, we rely on the grace of the Holy Spirit to live like citizens of God's Kingdom in our families and in our community.
