Every year, as is our custom, we discerned together by the Spirit that we will focus on the themes of
STORY and PARTNERSHIPS
in this next season.
​
When we only tell own stories, there are almost only ever two kinds. Either, we make ourselves the heroes of the story or the victims. Either we find ourselves relating only to those we perceive as heroes in bible stories or we find ourselves relating to those in the Bibles stories who we see as victims who are rescued, restored, healed and saved.
​
We need stories that will expose the old lenses we still use to interpret the text. We need stories that give us permission to read the text in a variety of ways.
Beyond the text, we need to hear the stories of others. Ishmael Beah writes, "One of the most powerful weapons we can use to dehumanize each other is the stories we believe about the other, and especially those stories that are built on fear... we forget that stories are medicine meant to remind us that we belong to each other."
​
Join us as we take this journey to discover that at the heart of any partnership - personal or corporate, there is always more than one story. Join us as we root ourselves in the partnership of the Father, Son and Spirit, in the partnership of the Creator with their creation, and in the partnership of All things with All things.
