Gathering Rhythms - Part 1

Our Natural F. L. O. W. of Life – The rhythms (habits/practices) that make us –
“A people to belong to” and embody who we are.

WE START WITH FAMILY OF GOD - L. O. W. OF OUR FLOW COMMING SOON...

Family of God - Being God’s People: The Church (Heb. 10:24-25)

Looking to Jesus to lead us – We will continually and to the best of our ability look to Jesus for his guidance and wisdom in all situations both small and large.

Learning Together - At some level we’ll remain just a social club if we are not learning together. We must be growing as disciples of Jesus. Some of this learning occurs while serving, but if we follow Jesus then we need to seek to know him better through scripture and through reading the scriptures that shaped and formed him. Large group and small group discussion is important.

Engaging the basic tenants: We will incorporate into our gatherings and community life Communion, Baptism, the study of God’s word, and worship as a life style.

Imagination: We will do our best to seek a new, yet ancient, expression of what it means to be God’s people in our ever changing world and cultural context.
