Sunday morning, Rev. Mike Adamek began our new monthly theme of "Wholeness." Rev. Mike talked about the phrase "Love your neighbor as yourself" which is repeated in many ways, over and over, throughout the Bible. Mike used it to illustrate that just like our personal homes, church can be a source of joy and pain because we know each other so well, we can sometimes, too easily, push each other's buttons.
