How do we behave? As leaders, we use a BLESS framework to guide our fellowship and Christian practice:

Bless - We seek to be a God-like presence everywhere we go. Listen - We cultivate disciplines that help us relate deeply to God and to others. Eat - We share intentional meals with each other and those different from us. Speak - We use our words to sow seeds of peace and spread the gospel of the kingdom. Sabbath - We set aside a day to rest in God and deepen communion with others.
