TVEW - Making Space For MAGA + Are We a Church? Not according to our members

Last week, we launched our first Value Exchange weekend, aimed at encouraging discussions among both like-minded individuals and neighbors with diverse perspectives, all in the spirit of outreach and faith-building. This week, we prepare our regulars to welcome neighbors from various political, social, and spiritual backgrounds into our church community, including those from our right-leaning community.

On a related note, some of our members have expressed concerns about referring to ourselves as a church. What does it mean to be a church, and what cultural impact does that word carry?

And if you haven't done so already, please join our CarePortal Response team.

Many of the families involved in the child welfare system have practical needs that, when met by caring members of their community, have the power to drastically improve the trajectory of their lives. CarePortal engages child-serving professionals who work directly with kids and families in crisis to vet and alert the community to those needs while simultaneously mobilizing local churches, organizations, and community members who have the desire and resources to service those needs – all in real-time, in one central place.

You can make a difference by committing to provide, fund, or pray for these needs and families by signing up on CarePortal today. Together, we can achieve racial equity and facilitate healthy outcomes for all families.
