Drew MacGregor offered these thoughts on one of the lines our story.
Be....In Community
One of the phrases that came out of the branding/messaging work we did last year was "Be.....in community."
At the time I heard that I really liked the message it conveys. Come to FirstChurch, be yourself, be part of a community.
Over the last few months, and in thinking about the covenant we signed, I have developed a new appreciation for what the phrase means.
We are called to Be in our Community. We are called to serve outside our walls. We are called to be beacons of light in a hurting world. We are called to go out into the Community and Be ourselves. I am beginning to better understand that Be...in Community isn't about the unchurched coming to us, but it's about us going to them in how we carry ourselves daily.
How are you called to Be....in our Community?
that Drew is such a deep thinker
