We came here today because our mothers made us.
We came here today because we were lonely.
We came here today because we love the people here.
We came here today because we have a spiritual itch that needs scratching.
We came here today out of habit.
We came here today because it is our duty.
We came here today to sing.
We came here today to see what that zany pastor will do next.
We came here today because we are in need of healing.
We came here today to learn something new.
We came here today because this is the latest worship service we could find and we like to sleep in.
We came here today to pray.
Whatever the path that brought you here, we are here now together, so let us praise the God of circumstances beyond our control and revel in the moment of being here.
