Welcome in the name of Jesus

To all who are spiritually weary and seeking rest;
To all who mourn and long for comfort;
To all who struggle and desire victory;
To all who sin and need a Savior;
To all who are strangers and want fellowship;
To all who hunger and thirst after righteousness;
And to whoever will come –
This church opens wide her doors
And offers her welcome in the name
Of the Risen Lord Jesus Christ.

"I've been told that Skip Ryan, the wonderful, grace-filled and thoughtful preacher at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville and later at Park Cities Presbyterian Church in Dallas before he stepped down last fall, was the originator. Certainly a number of PCA churches print this on their websites and worship bulletins, which makes me think maybe Skip did originate it."

"But, I'd like to look into it and try to nail it down. Do you know? If you don't know, might you know someone else who knows?"
