2. The Lord’s supper (communion) is a constant reminder of God’s love expressed to us through the sacrifice of his son, Jesus. May we never forget.
3. We are called to do life together. It’s in smaller communities that we find strength that we do not have on our own.

Gather, Grow, Go – our discipleship pathway
As we live in “commUnity” with our focus on Jesus, His kingdom expands. We live in alignment with His will and purpose for our lives.
Are we living with open hands?
Two key lessons from this story…
1. Our lives are not to be lived in pursuit of wealth, the accumulation of material things. Jesus calls us to a brand new way of thinking in regards to material wealth.
2. We are not blessed to hoard. We are blessed to share. And our sharing is not for recognition, it’s to see the Kingdom of God built.
