BLESSING – The word “blessing” means “to empower to strength.” We seek God’s blessing and pass that blessing on to others. We ask that those who are part of our community to make a commitment to bless one person a week where they live, where they work and where they play.

EATING – Sharing food has always been central to a shared life of community. We want to place worship and communion back where it began: as a delight in the middle of the shared table. We eat and drink in remembrance of Christ – looking back to the cross and forward to his return.  We provide regular opportunities for our community to gather for a meal and encourage our community members to share one meal together weekly with someone who is part of our community.

LISTENING – We believe that God is capable of speaking to us. We do not confine him to any particular medium, but we try to be attentive to his voice, wherever and whenever it speaks. We provide a period for reflection, meditation and listening to the voice of God. We do this by reading and praying together daily.  We realize that we must as believers live life at a different pace to do this and to serve this age we must betray it.

LEARNING – We desire to take on the image of God and to participate in his plan. We seek out knowledge about God to help us to do this. We gather around the Scriptures and learn together, discussing issues that confront our world.

We encourage you to download the covenant and pray over it.  If you feel led to complete it, bring it with you to worship and place it in the offering baskets, on the communion table or in the new prayer space in the foyer.
