A Community That I Can Trust

A Community That I Can Trust

Since I’ve joined the RLC community I’ve been lucky to make so many wonderful connections. There’s been one young woman who’s been incredibly open, trusting, and welcoming. Within weeks of meeting me through youth events here at Roseville Lutheran, she shared with me how much she’s been struggling with her faith through the tough times she’s facing.

It was humbling that she shared something so raw and honest. I was blown away by the fact that this young woman was so articulate and so passionate, and by how strong she proved herself to be even in the midst of doubt and pain.

I was blown away by the reason she trusted me, someone she had met so recently. She told me she knew she could come to me with the truth because I was a part of Roseville Lutheran, and this community had always welcomed her with open arms.

By trusting me so wholeheartedly, this person also showed me that this is a place that I can be welcomed, that this is a community that I can trust, and that this is a church where even my doubts and fears can be shared with others and with God.

 

Thanks be to God.
