"I am the church!" They point at themselves with both thumbs.
"You are the church!" They point at us adults with their index fingers. Then they circle their arms wide and sing loudly, "WE are the church to-gether!"
They make the point that our church is made up of people, not drywall and plywood and stucco. Church carries a lot more importance and has more soul than a building; it is a "community of faith," meaning that church can be out in the streets, or wherever "two or more are gathered," as Jesus told us. While the unique function of the church is worship, it is also wherever its members gather to celebrate God in their lives. When we pray together, make plans together, do volunteer work together, have worship services together, that’s church.
