As the calendar flips over to a new year our focus naturally shifts to the 12 months that lay out in front of us. We begin to make plans and dream dreams for ourselves and our families and our communities. However, the direction of the goals that we set is extremely important. If we simply assemble a random assortment of targets for ourselves there is no telling where we might end up even if we achieve everything that we set out to accomplish. There are many things that we are looking forward to in 2025, but we want to make sure that those things align with The Church We Choose To Be. A church that is committed to “connecting people to Jesus through community.” So, over the course of the next four weeks we will be spending time walking through the core values that motivate us to do and be the church that God has called us to be.
