Thanks for the profile. Gary has been an amazing pastor. He is down to earth, a man of integrity, and he encourages all of us to live as Jesus did, to be nonjudgmental, to be inclusive, and to minister to those in need wherever we find them in everyday life. He's honest and transparent, which reaches people who could have been turned off by our sometimes overzealous religiosity — and by that I mean having the trappings of Christianity but forgetting the simplicity of the gospel: Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and spirit, and love your neighbor as yourself. Love mercy, do justice, and walk humbly with your God.
Great story, Cheryl Haase
