In his book, Five Practices of Fruitful Living, United Methodist Bishop Robert Schnase identified five characteristics that he believes faithful people and fruitful, growing churches all have in common: radical hospitality, passionate worship, intentional faith development, risk-taking mission and service, and extravagant generosity. Beginning on September 28, Calvary UMC will be studying these five practices. Each Sunday, our worship services will focus on one of those themes so that we may seek God’s leading as we reflect on that together. We will also have members of our church sharing each week about how they have experienced some of those practices of fruitful living here at Calvary. Those who are present in worship each week (in person or online) will receive a Heart Card tool that will encourage you to reflect on the day’s practice of faithful living, and how you have experienced that here. Everyone present will be encouraged to use these Heart Cards for reflection, and we will also invite you to share those cards for display if you are willing to do so in order for it to be shared with the church. We will even have some fruitful snacks available if you return your Heart Card.
