The Property Discernment Team isn’t meeting until the end of this month — we couldn’t make all our calendars work during this vacation time. However, discernment needs rest and reflection, and an August full of meetings would not allow the team to sort through all you’ve shared so far. That doesn’t mean the process stops. Your July feedback is still sitting with each of us, and if you’ve got more to add, keep sending it — to me, to Rob, to Camille, or other team members. When the team reconvenes later, everything you’ve shared this summer comes with it.

Last year, many of us journeyed through Practicing the Way together, learning what it means to become apprentices of Jesus. This fall, we’re building on that foundation. Beginning the week of October 5, we’ll be launching our fall Practicing the Way studies on Service and Witness. Together, we’ll explore what it means to love like Jesus and to naturally share His hope with the people God has placed in our lives. Go here for more information and how to register for these new groups. We hope you’ll prayerfully consider joining a group this fall.
