Welcoming All With Grace
As part of our visioning process, our church has worked on naming our core values. There are lots of values any church can name about what they believe to be important, but the point of the process is to find the values that best define the reality and the aspirations of our particular church.

Values
I have written a couple of times about being in the part of our Visioning Process where we are talking about our values as a church. This week I challenged the board to do some homework around our values and I want to invite you to add your input as well.
