Whether or not we like to make resolutions, the start of a new year can inspire both reflecting on our past and imagining our future.  Where have we been getting in our own way?  Where are we ready for some healing?  What can we hope for?

Here at Paint Branch, as we begin this new year, we’re entering into a time of intentional listening, reflecting and imagining together.  It’s a process that invites us into some healing, and into the beginning of conversation about the mission of this church. 

Those participating in the mission discernment small groups will engage in this work in those groups.  And our worship services for the next six Sundays, except January 14, will connect to and support the group process. 

If you’re participating in a small group, and you’re able to, please attend each service or watch the video before your group meets. 

I’m pretty excited about these groups.  Your facilitators have been through the process themselves, as a group, and their conversations were deep, and true, and hopeful.  I wish the same for you.

And … to get us going … are you wondering what’s in the little packages?  Join us at 3pm on Sunday and find out!

In faith,
Rev. Ann
