Theme: “The Witness and With-ness of Jesus!” Matthew 5:1-16

Christian identity involves both Witness and With-ness. Our Witness speaks to the confidence of engaging others in conversation, with curiosity and respect, as we share our understanding of the Christ-like way of life. Our With-ness speaks to accompanying each other on our chosen faith journeys seeking to find and to encounter God’s merciful, abundant, and unconditional love. On our sacred journeys, illumined by the light of Jesus, together we can find the beauty of our unity nestled in the creativity of our diversity. And in this we are pulled together by the mysterious power of God into miraculous tapestries! In 2017, may we discover the artistry of our lives as we weave together our faith stories to proclaim our with-ness and witness in Jesus.
