The man answered, “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
Luke 10:27
We’ve been talking about what it means to flourish as a faith community in every season. The kind of spiritual flourishing we’re called to is about fully engaging with God’s work of restoration within us and in the world around us. Wholeheartedly embodying the good news, for the sake of the world.
This season we’re celebrating the fruit that helps us see God at work in forming us as His people. We’ll revisit the values of a flourishing community through the context of Deuteronomy 6, share stories of new growth, and embody healthy spiritual living through micro-practices designed to engage our whole selves as faith intersects with everyday life.
Let’s remember that there are all sorts of expressions of God’s Spirit at work. That there’s space for you- your whole self; heart, mind, soul - in this story no matter which life season you’re in. And that the God of the seasons is always inviting us to begin again.
As we reflect and celebrate we also look forward with anticipation about what’s next. We continue to journey towards the hope of the horizon, with the promise of His presence to guide us. As we follow this winding path, may we be people In Bloom.
