One Roof with our whole church family was a-m-a-z-i-n-g yesterday!!! It was the most ultimate fam jam that I've ever been to in my whole life... a taste of Kingdom life to come!

At the afternoon worship service, our church's newest mission was launched, one that will guide us into these next four years! It is simply called... Transform. I love its boldness and how it is God-sized... and especially how it calls us all to be radically generous in compassion! Love it, love it, love it!
GROW: Everyone to grow spiritually; growing in baptisms, Home Churches, volunteers, attendance and personal stories of life transformation.
INVITE: Everyone to connect with neighbours, friends, co-workers, and family; seven new sites to be launched.
CARE: This is the one I'm most excited about! Everyone engaged in compassionate relationships; invest $1.5 million in local partners and $3.5 million in southern Africa partners for compassionate community transformation; explore new opportunities in compassion and peace in our communities, nation and world!
Now, to actually LIVE IT! I am actually really looking forward to doing this... especially with a church family that is so passionate about following Jesus! Just. So. Cool!
After the worship service, the biggest parking lot potluck unfolded! So. Much. Fun!

Our church family brings us so much joy!
It is truly a gift to be able to do life with them. My heart overflows with joy just thinking about where God will take us these next four years... to God be the glory great things He has done and will continue to do!

Compassion is a command, an act of worship, a song of thanks to Him.
