You may have heard Tommy and Leo discuss emphasizing missional living more in the coming year. For more details go to our blog post.

We have come up with 2 values to focus on this year as a church. First, Service - we value showing up for each other in service with the time and resources available to us. Second, Community - we value connection with each other, walking alongside each other and taking part in the pain and growth of each other’s lives. Every week, we will communicate with each other an emphasis on one habit for missional living that reflects one or both of these values, whether it be sharing a meal with others, educating yourself on a particular justice topic, or reaching out to someone in your life who is suffering. We are often doing this work in the half circle/missional space quietly on the individual level. We want to bring comfort and encouragement to having this conversation as openly as we talk about the other "circles" - like house churches and Sunday gatherings.

May 2025 - Demonstrate gratitude for an educator, first responder, or service professional 

Bring them coffee or lunch, sincerely thanking them for the service they provide for the community. Write a note of thanks and cc their bosses if feasible. Spend some time considering their sacrifice to serve in the position they do.
