Belong

Happy (hot!) Friday everyone!

Welp, the ‘rona ripped through our household in the last few days, but we’re on the mend. I’m looking forward to being back with many of you on the weekend and continuing a short but important vision series intended to set up the next era of ministry. Belong & Become is all about what we’re called to, what we’re about, and where we’re going.
A quick shout-out to Brody Jespersen, who graciously stepped in for me last weekend and absolutely crushed the first installment. Thank you, Brody, for being a good teammate and superb communicator! If you missed it, it’s here.
This weekend I’ll describe more about the ‘genius of the AND’ and then do a slightly deeper dive into what it looks like for us to create an environment of family, of belonging.
See you online or in person Saturday or Sunday.
