Hey Friends,
We are back together this Sunday January 4th, 5pm @ choppers and I am excited to see all of you again.
In light of the season of resolutions for 2009, I felt that since our community is continually growing in understanding of what it means to walk in a Jesus direction we should spend some time on Sunday sharing some resolutions of our own as we attempt to walk in this direction.
Therefore, I wanted to encourage you to think of 2 resolutions to share at toh this Sunday.
1. A resolution that will help you personally move in a Jesus direction
* It could involve a spiritual practice (prayer, reading your bible, silence, fitness, meditation etc.) or be more practical such as volunteering locally or giving up something.
2. A community resolution that involves a role or activity that will help toh move in a Jesus direction with your leadership/ guidance.
* This could involve starting a new group, or activity that others would join with you in; taking a role more intentionally within toh (helping with choppers, teaching, music, set-up, etc.) or doing/ creating something that would bring toh together more powerfully in our neighbourhood with use of a specific gift God has given you.
I believe God is asking us to take some more steps this year in this mysterious Jesus direction and I hope that each of you will join in on that direction, and begin to take some personal steps to that end. But please don’t take these resolutions lightly, as I think there is something spiritual in the resolution or as we read in the bible, what seems to be described as a ‘vow.’ See these resolutions as vows to God, and to your community.
I am stoked to see how each of you utilize how God has blessed you toward a personal and social gift to yourself and the open house.
