what our members say... I have felt the spirit of God in this church like I haven't felt since I took my first communion when I was 7 years old. |

I spent my whole life not being sure there was a God. I did! I thought I was on my own in this world. Now I know God is here, I know God is in my life, and when I start to question that, I think about being at Beloved Community and I remember that I am not alone. For the first time in a long time, my soul is happy and satisfied, and I feel real close to my God. | |

My life is different now. There are people I love who look different than me, and that means a lot. That feels like God. I feel like God is bringing us to each other. You can be yourself here. You can be honest. You don't have to be perfect. That's what I love. I love my church. This church is a place of refuge. |

I've never been in a place like this church where people -- black and white, people who have never seen each other before -- have come together to sing and play with so much unity. There is so much unity here that God has to be in this place. Only God can make voices that have never sung with each other before sound so beautiful. If you are wondering what song you are listening to it is "One Bread, One Body" and here are the lyrics: Refrain One bread, one body, one Lord of all, one cup of blessing which we bless. And we, though many, throughout the earth, we are one body in this one Lord. 1. Gentile or Jew, servant or free, woman or man, no more. 2. Many the gifts, many the works, one in the Lord of all. 3. Grain for the fields, scattered and grown, gathered to one, for all. | |
