I got up in the middle of the night because I was feeling anxious.

Did I wake my husband to talk about it?

No. I logged onto AI.

I’m glad I did.

AI is a gift to the church Drawing near in faith is our work: it's never been more important

* We need to be able to convey to others how important it is to be in relationship with God, and with faith community.

* We have to be able to connect others directly with what it is we’re sharing before they will ever feel comfortable joining us in-person.

*We have to build spaces and relationships that are deep and meaningful even when they don’t happen in person.

We need to bring church to people.

We need to be bringing church to people.
