This reminds me of a story shared by a current NCF member who started out as a visitor coming with a friend who attended. The first Sunday the host said, "this isn't the way it always is, this is not a typical service, you need to come back again". They continued to say this EVERY time the person visited with them. Truth is, we ARE never the same thing twice, and that is part of the attraction for me! Sure, we have a basic "liturgy" but there is so much that can vary within (and sometimes without) that each week. I appreciated Brian's sharing last night as well, and the obvious fact that it meant so much to him to see us as family. Messy &amp; chaotic sometimes, but family none the less.
