Seeing the Face of God in Community

This summer we've been emphasizing the presence of God in communities you may least expect. We look into the least likely places of the city bus, the curb under the bridge, the parking lot.  It is also a chance to allow God to be present when two or three youth groups come to serve and learn in Miami the same week.
Although we are the same in many ways, We may be from similar churches, from the same state, from the same economic backgrounds. We differ in so many more it seems when we aren't letting God be present. But when we allow God in, when we look for God's presence in a community of homeless men, or in a shelter of battered women, or in the foster families or hard labor of poverty,  we have much more in common. Whether slave or free, greek or gentile, we share the promises of God's love and presence.
