During Week One the focus                   RETURN

of our worship and study

will be Radical Hospitality—

the way we actively invite, welcome,

and care for those who are strangers.

During Week Two the focus

of our worship and study will be

Passionate Worship, focusing on the time

we gather deliberately seeking

to encounter God. Discover together what

 God can do through our lives and ministry.

During Week Three the focus

of our worship and study will be

Intentional Faith Development—

the way we purposefully learn, grow,

extend ourselves, and mature in faith together.

Together we will explore new ways to grow

in faith, love, and ministry in all the ages and stages of our lives.

During week four we will examine

the meaning of Extravagant Generosity

in our worship and study. Generosity

means an unselfish willingness to give

for the purposes of Christ. But what does

it mean for us to give extravagantly, going

beyond expectations? We’ll find new ways

to see the extravagance of God in our lives.

 During our last week with Five Practices of Fruitful

Congregations  we will explore in worship and study the

 idea of Risk-Taking Mission and Service. Mission and

 service describe the projects and work we do to make a

 positive difference in the lives of others, both here and

 around the world, whether they ever will be members of

 this church or not. Risk-taking pushes us out of our

 comfort zone to do new and different things.
