Church Without Walls

Welcome to Lake Forrest Church! In an era dominated by digital connections and dispersed communities, we're pioneering a new model of Church.

 

Eschewing the traditional brick-and-mortar approach, we are a Catholic Church intentionally designed to prioritize a vibrant online presence and connect with individuals within their own communities.

 

Embracing innovation and creativity, we operate primarily in the digital sphere, actively seeking out those who may not resonate with traditional church structures, wherever they live, work, and socialize.

A Shepherd Departs: Remembering Pope Francis, the People's Pope

Friends, Romans, Catholics – lend me your ears! Today, a somber cloud hangs over Vatican City, that tiny but mighty sovereign state nestled within Rome, as we mourn the passing of Pope Francis. His death, occurring so close to Easter, when we celebrate resurrection and new beginnings, reminds us that God calls us home in His perfect timing.

Like many of you, I, Pastor Kim, was deeply moved by the news. Tears welled in my eyes, a testament to the profound impact this man had on the world. He wasn't just a figurehead; he was a beacon of hope, a true shepherd for the people. He was real, authentic, and his position never changed his core values – a man for us all.

Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 1936, to Mario José Bergoglio and Regina María Sívori, leaves behind a legacy that will reverberate for generations. He was the Pope of the poor, the champion of the marginalized, and he made it good to be Catholic again! He brought a refreshing wave of humility and genuine connection to a role often perceived as distant and untouchable.

But what happens now? The world watches as the College of Cardinals prepares for the Conclave, that ancient and mysterious process where they will gather, pray, and ultimately choose the next leader of the Catholic Church. It's a pivotal moment, full of tradition and anticipation. And, just for fun, if I had a vote, my top pick would be… (Who do YOU think should be the next Pope? Let us know in the comments below!)

Agape Love Poem

All knees bow down to love. The purest form from above.

God is love, the ultimate guide, Without it, only tolerance resides.

 

Agape love, selfless and true,A force that binds me and you. 

In its embrace, we find peace,And all our worries and fears cease.

 

Let us cherish this love divine,And let it in our hearts entwine. 

For in its, we find our way,And in its light, we see a brighter day.
