Making More Room
This series will run 3 Sundays and be followed by a special interactive exercise on Thursday Nov 26.
We believe in a God who wants us to know that we are welcome.
The narrative arc of the gospel—from creation to a restored earth—keeps expanding to include individuals, families, tribes, kingdoms, and finally, the multitudes of nations.
God never stops making more room.
Last year we talked about different ways our hospitality reflects our room— making God. This year we want to
build on that conversation and explore God’s vision for what we create as we gather. How we move from isolation into connectedness, from caring for some to caring for the whole. Peter Block writes that the hard part of building community is that it is always a custom job. It is born of local people, with unique gifts, deciding what to create together.
How do we show up for each other, you and I?
How do we build relatedness one room at a time?
God, how can I make a bit more room?
