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.

August 2025 - Reach out to someone in your circle who is suffering

Let someone in your life who is suffering know you are thinking of them. Ask questions when appropriate without trying to offer advice or solutions. Be present with the grief of others in order to demonstrate support.
