Jesus asked people to offer light to those who sit in the dark
Jesus asked people to be like salt, adding flavor and feeding a hungry world.
What does that mean in today's vernacular??
A lot of people don't trust the church--we know that. But, most of our neighbors will admit that they believe in God, whether or not they agree about God's name or God's level of engagement in daily life of people.
And, most people think the world would be a better place if we all actually followed Jesus's teachings!
So what would it look like to be the community that trusts in God's promises and follows Jesus in the ordinary, daily stuff of life. How would you offer that perfectly salted food? What would it be like to bring light to someone in despair? Maybe it is learning to have meaningful conversations and offering hospitality to our neighbors--even if we don't know them yet.
Come and See! We invite you to join leadership training about creating new faith communities--shaping new places of exploring life and faith and growing together.
It is not about coming with a hidden agenda. It IS about building a community that tries to live and trust God like Jesus did.
COME and SEE!
