Free Store Learning Culture and Context Our Discovery Phase

Call to Worship: Leader: God’s love is deep and wide. Community: God loves all people. Leader: Beyond differences that may divide us. Community: No matter who we are or what we have done. All: We are all beloved children of God

Leader: We are a church for all people. Community: We give our love to everyone no matter who they are or what they have done. All: Welcome to this circle.

Tolerance Appreciation Inspiration What started as mere tolerance gradually evolved to rich appreciation and now provides us with new authentic channels of inspiration.

Church for All People Our Core Affirmation “God loves us just the way we are and God ‘s not finished with us yet”

Table Discussion: Small Group Questions 1. Do you have clarity around your own core values related to ministry with the people of God? 2. What are your church’s core values? Do you believe they align with yours? 3. What are you and your congregations doing to build relationships that allow you to learn about the culture and context of your community?
