Quarreled & Tested

We are in relationship with the church in the long haul. Indeed, we might argue that the only way we can make it for the long haul is together. This saying sums it up: “If you want to fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together.” We are in community as we journey, especially for the long haul.

We sing of our mission, of the promise to move out into the world, living out the hope that is within us. The benediction is a sending into mission, an encouragement to live out our faith in the world of our everyday living. This is how we endure for the long haul.
