Godly Partnership

I just came from what may have been the best board meeting of my life. Three months ago, I shared with you all the story of Moses and the parting of the Red Sea, in which God worked a miracle but only after Moses lifted his walking stick. The Bible is full of stories like this. Jesus asked the blind man to wash in the river, asked the servants to fill the wine jugs with water, asked the little boy to give over his bread and fish—again and again, we see the theme: God works miracles, if we do our part.

Raising Our Walking Sticks

It’ll mean a serious look at lots of moving pieces—everything from communications to donation platforms to income sources to budgetary structures to staff to physical property. But I have faith. We’ve got a walking stick; we’re lifting it up; God can part the Red Sea. I’m excited to get started. We’ll keep you up to date with how it goes.

Stoking the Fire: Early Registration EXTENDED

The Early Registration discount for Stoking the Fire, our annual North American retreat for Friends, has been extended to April 1st. Join Friends as we stoke our spiritual fires and stretch ourselves through communal worship, learning, and fellowship. Together we will open ourselves to Christ's presence and power and allow the Spirit to work within us as we seek God's power for transformative action.
