The Creator of the universe was born into a messy The Creator of the universe was born into a messy stable for our sake. 🍷🍞

God didn’t wait for the world to be tidy, sanitized, and perfect before showing up. He chose the dirt, the margins, and the mess. During Houghton Feast, our High Altar was transformed into a chaotic banquet table where visitors ate breadsticks, shared wine, and left napkin RSVPs of gratitude.

As we reset the altar and prepare for our Harvest Festival tomorrow, that same spirit of open-handed gratitude continues.

Join us tomorrow morning! Whether you have deep faith, a little doubt, or just want to celebrate the good things in our community, you are invited to the feast. Come as you are.
