Here at The Table, we affirm our communal values frequently:
Rooted in Grace
Growing in Faith
Reaching in Love
Giving Generously
It’s important to remember who we are, and what we are about, as a community. But remembering is about more than simply being able to recall the words. We also need to know on a deeper level what these values mean to us personally, how we have experienced them through our life at The Table, and how we will seek to embody them in our own living.
We call this exercise of introspection and self reflection our Deep Commitment process. The gift our Deep Commitment process offers is intentionality. We all know how easy, and tempting it is, to simply continue on auto pilot and maintain the status quo. But one of the challenging truths of our faith is that we can’t follow Jesus, and stay where we are. Our Deep Commitment process provides us with an intentional opportunity to examine how we will seek to live out our faith in new and more vital ways in the year ahead, rooted in the communal values that we share here at The Table.
Additionally, our commitments have an impact on our shared life at The Table. The commitments we make and share will help give form to our worship life, shape our missional direction, inform how we structure ourselves organizationally, and inspire how we resource ourselves for mission and ministry. In other words, our shared commitments impact how we live into our future at The Table.
May the commitments we make be an expression of our gratitude for the depth of God’s commitment to us and this community.
It is so good to be on this journey together.
