Clearly we didn’t reach all our goals last year, but that doesn’t mean we are going to give up. What we need to do is make a plan for what we will try to accomplish this year.
Our why is not going to change. The world is still broken and in need of repair. Our what isn’t going to change either. We are still going to love God and love one another. It is our how that can and should change.
First, our challenges:
- Our audience is spread out worldwide
- Our theology is unique even among other Christians
The big lesson last year was to become more clear about who we are so we can better communicate it to others.
Therefore, although it may seem repetitive at times, we will continue to be posting Sunday morning service videos. In addition to videos about the basics of our faith, we will also add some about how we practice that faith here at our Christian intentional community, New Covenant House.
You cannot practice community alone. I would like to make our time together more interactive with some time for discussion and deeper learning. The easiest way to do that is to join with others. Cultivating Caring Communities discuss intentional communities every Tuesday at 7:30pm Eastern and we are invited to join them. Let me know if you are interested.
We will leave the third discipleship level for the future when we have one or two more residents here. This is the one that prepares new leaders for replicating what we are doing now.
Finally, our Foundations document needs to be updated with the lessons we have learned last year and what we have planned for the future. Let me know if you are interested in working with me on that project.
