Summer Days in Homewood

I love summer in Homewood! Some days it seems like all of my neighbors are out and about in the neighborhood visiting with one another. Today, our house was grand central station as we had a steady stream of friends visiting all day. I know I've said this a million times, but incarnational urban ministry yields a level of authentic community that I have never experienced anywhere else that I have lived. Honestly, the best part of my job as a pastor in the city is building meaningful relationships with people who also teach me so much about life. People in my neighborhood depend on one another. I admire the resilience and courage of the friends that I have made over the past five years in Homewood.
