I gave this charge to the people of Faith Community Church on my last day as pastor. I thought I would share it with you as well.

Live - and live well.
Love - and love well.
Laugh - even if it isn’t funny.
Cry when friends leave.

Cherish ordinary moments - for life is a collection of ordinary moments - and in them we find God.

Care for one another - it’s how people will know you follow Jesus.

Never be afraid to get out of the boat.

Be silent - every day. Silence and stillness are the most radical actions we can take in the world.

Be whole - whatever it takes. Settle for nothing less.

Watch for God’s Kingdom - it’s breaking into our world all over the place.

When you find a piece of God’s Kingdom - point it out to someone else.

Eat together - every chance you get. Everything you need to know about God’s Kingdom can be discovered by sharing life around the table.

Do the little things - Little things done consistently, over time, will change the world.

You are changing the world.
