Christian community development is both small and big. It's lived out in the small gestures of good neighboring. Like the 3 pies that Judy Marshall and I delivered to new renters last Saturday. Or a weekly prayer walk that allows us to pray for each home and family in the neighborhood as well as pick up trash along the sidewalks and streets.
It's also big. Like having conversations and taking action steps for mixed income housing redevelopment, more home owner occupied homes, and creating a long view vision of holistic neighborhood revitalization. It's considering the need and opportunities for jobs and economic strengthening that would help keep dollars circulating in the neighborhood and community.
