to answer your question about being intentional about diversity, we often have the bible reading done in English first, followed by another language -some one from the congregation reads-sharing their first or second language. we also have a potluck lunch following every service where people are encouraged to bring ethnic dishes from their backgrounds, and our praise team represents several different cultures with their own ethniticity, style of music and instuments! it is so great each week to see fellow Christians step outside their own comforts and share in the diversity God created!!
