important things

Our church has had its "values" for many years now.  But "values" make us think of business and corporate organisations... or even...  school!  Much better to have some "important things" for us as a church instead of "values".  But really they are "values" and we can, yet, think of them as "important things"  ;)

So the "Important Things" we recently reflected on these past Sunday Mornings were these seven:

  1. Christlike
  2. Biblical
  3. Prayerful
  4. Evangelistic
  5. Family
  6. Flexible
  7. Generous

 

It is really important for us to practise all seven, and for all seven to be evident in our church life. With them we will thrive; without them we will shrink and shrivel.
