Happy New Year! Are you feeling God’s abundance? Now is a great time for your leadership and whole congregation to be intentional to discuss the abundance of your community of faith and the opportunities and possibilities you want to explore this year. What are things your community of faith does really well? What are you known for? Create a word list that describes qualities/characteristics of your community of faith. Invite community partners, your outreach groups, users of your building, the neighbourhood around you to participate. What do they know about you? Additionally, make a list of all the activities your community of faith participates in. Celebrate and appreciate these gifts. Check out this three-minute video, The Embrace of Abundance Amidst the Fiction of Scarcity, from well-known Biblical scholar, Dr. Walter Brueggemann
