Who are you? When we look at that question through the lens of culture, we tend to start with what we do, the relationships we have, what we possess, the things we’ve accomplished, how we look…or the places where we fall short of the world’s or our own expectations. That’s why I loved where we started our Beautiful Mess series last week…our identity. Who we are – that we were designed and created by a loving heavenly Father to walk in the fullness of a relationship with Him and one another. I can’t wait to see how this series continues to unfold and the healing that will take place as our lives are reshaped by our Creator.

I’m looking forward to this weekend and all that it holds for our church and community. There are so many opportunities to love the people around us and invite them to see the beauty of the Church on display. The Beautiful Mess series continues. Kenton will be laughing and mocking me as I swim across the lake after our Saturday night service (I can’t believe I lost the bet:), and of course our winter session of Rooted begins next week. If you’ve never been to Rooted or there are folks in your life looking for a place to dive into understanding more about who they are, who God is, and how His story gets lived out through His Church in this world, we’d love to have you join us.

Peace…
