WHERE IS THE HOLY SPIRIT CALLING US?

Who We Are LOVE

(kind, patient, welcoming, inviting, relationships, supportive)

Loving & forgiving each other God is calling us to love one another Love Demonstrate Jesus' love as a group and individually at all points in our lives In every action and word we will choose Love ACCEPT
(acceptance/honoring diversity)

To speak in new languages, some spoken. To overcome and be surprised. To overcome the prejudices to word propriety and embrace God's dynamic action. (Discussed that new languages could mean communicate through media?
And that in todays language not church language.)

Be peaceful and accepting community in the midst of a fearful and confused society. Live free of judgment I pray that Pointe of Grace can be a place that endures the limiting influences of our culture. A place where all ages are valued. A place where self-centered performance and accomplishment is valued less than the work of the group/whole. A place where honesty and openness are not just valued but practiced. A place where people can let down their guard. A place where money and status don't matter. *I feel called to take God's love, grace and forgiveness as I experienced it and to boldly take/make opportunity to befriend/help/consider possibilities where I could offer a loving hand/presence to all I meet. I am a friendly person but I have sometimes in more recent years, not taken advantage of the nudging of the Holy Spirit - I believe we all are called to be open to the Spirit - consciously open, listening and waiting to serve in the name of Jesus. WORSHIP We put our faith in The Lord Holy Spirit uncovers the beauty within us all It is calling us to be saints. To help and teach one another the ways of God Music - ministry - integration of traditional with contemporary. Reaching junior members I see another seating arrangement - One that promotes community-split into 2 semicircles with space in the middle for gathering for communion.

What We Do Service I believe the Holy Spirit is telling us to do stuff than actually just saying stuff. Engage in community activities and love Calling us to feed the hungry.....Listen Love... working with others to do just It wants us to change first for the better, so that we can help others too. And in order to change we must act. The Holy Spirit tells us good from evil and tells us what to do It calls us to use whatever our personal gifts to help others. Each that makes sense in context Serve the community *I feel called to take God's love, grace and forgiveness as I experienced it and to boldly take/make opportunity to befriend/help/consider possibilities where I could offer a loving hand/presence to all I meet.

A beacon of learning about healthy ways of living for ourselves, for our governance and for our planet.

Missions/Programs To show that love to all is the answer It drives us towards opportunities to find meaning I want to Show God's love by telling and showing them Jesus through my life Holy Spirit wants us to live, act and show in our actions and words the true meaning of *Christ's message to all - especially the secular world around us Helping grow inner strength within everyone I can reach Community Reach beyond these walls.
