love cedar valley '10

We're made to believe, belong, and bless. One of our leaders at Missional Renaissance talked about this critical combination for our lives, and those three B's have stuck with me.

I'm currently turning my work and attention to Love Cedar Valley (www.lovecedarvalley.com) 2010 which will be Saturday, April 24. From my experience, Love Cedar Valley has been a great day for the Church in our area to proclaim and practice our believing, belonging, and blessing together. It's been a real shot in the arm as we pray, serve, and worship as one in Christ. I think the energy of LCV has greatly been about hope. The day has given us hope for the Church (we're showing that we can work together!), hope for the community (blessing and serving our community draws me closer to the people in our community) and most important, hope in Christ (whose love and power manifests through His people that day across the entire community in one big display of the kindness of God).

As you consider how you might bless someone today, also be considering how you might collectively join with Christ's Church to bless someone on April 24, Love Cedar Valley Day.
