Jesus is very clear that the life of a disciple is to be a life of witness. What's more, that witness is to be offered with more than words - our actions are to serve as a "light to the world." This week's highlighted Habit of Discipleship is Community Service, which is a complementary habit to financial generosity as a way to love our neighbor.

We are called by our baptism to be Christ's representatives in the world. We have been entrusted with the ministry Jesus first commissioned - to go and make disciples of all people. Making disciples of others demands that we first be disciples, and that takes a daily focus to prepare our hearts and our minds for this calling.

There are two opportunities starting up this next week. Please join in for some faithful study and conversation.
