• “Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. It is, in fact, the one thing that still stands when all else has fallen.” (1 Cor 13:7-8a) We  celebrate this reality as we live into our theme verse in the coming year.
• We were blessed by Spirit guidance as the Missional Leadership Team (the board) met for our annual retreat November 8-9. Moderator Steve Slagel invited reflection and play around our theme verse from I Corinthians 13. Joanne Gallardo invited deeper engagement with the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) and led discussions about ways to grow our intercultural competence.
• Joanne and Leadership Enhancement Team are celebrating conversations happening between potential sister congregations.
