Garrison Keillor Quote

I'm reading a book called The Emerging Church by Dan Kimball. Here's a quote the author uses that I'm really chewing on. Check this out:

“If you can’t go to church and at least for a moment be given transcendence, if you can’t pass briefly from this life into the next, then I can’t see why anyone would go. Just a brief moment of transcendence causes you to come out of the church a changed person.” Garrison Keillor

When we plan a weekend service or even First Wednesday, that's what we're shooting for...a transcendent moment...those moments when God just becomes so real and seems so close. I'm blessed to be a part of a church that allows for--even better--tries to creative enviroments for--transcendence.
