Today we continue our short series on “Practices of our Faith.”
We often think of religion as confined to certain texts or spaces, and the practices of faith as things we do in addition to “regular life.” But our faith can be so much more — actually, that’s what Jesus’ life is an example of—he challenges us to live our faith—having it guide our life’s purpose and inspire the seeming minutiae of our daily routines.
In this series, we’re exploring just three Christian practices that go beyond the typical practices we think of, like reading scripture, prayer, worship, and service. These additional practices particularly speak to our lives as we move into the busy holiday season—but really, they apply to life year round.
Today, we’re looking at the practice of “household economics.”

Wondering Our Way Forward: Curious About Our Mission
Today, we continue in our worship series—Curious Church: Wondering Our Way Forward.
For many reasons, we are heading into a new chapter as a church—as we think about how we use our building and prepare for a capital campaign, and as we pray about hiring a new staff person to attend to the people God has placed in our care; as we think about the way culture’s relationship with the church has changed, and how we can use the unique gifts God has given us as a church to be in partnership with our community.
And as with any big (or small) change, it’s important to listen to where to Spirit is leading. The best way I know how to attune myself to God’s Spirit is through curiosity—asking questions, and then opening myself to the Spirit’s prompting. So, in this series, we are getting curious together: “What does the next season look like for us?” “How is God calling us to be a safe space here and now, at this time in history?”
This isn’t about “fixing the church,” or discovering all the answers, but opening ourselves to the movement of God, trusting that God is leading us to the incredible things we haven’t even imagined yet.
If you think about it, this is how Jesus taught—through questions and parables and invitations, rather than easy answers.
Today, curiosity leads us to think about our mission, and how God is leading us forward.
