It’s Sunday morning and the faithful have gathered. The faithful have been meeting at Hometown Friends Church for 128 years. One of the things we are doing this morning is admitting we haven’t always gotten it right. I’m thinking we have committed at least four of the seven deadly sins in our relationship with the community—pride, envy, greed, and sloth. Then we read together Acts 2:42-47 and I saw how individualism has tripped us up.

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
