Follow along with us during our series Lifestyle of the Table with weekly challenges for those of us who call Vineyard Northwest our home. New challenges will be added weekly.
You can find messages on our Youtube page here starting August 3rd.
Week 1: Sharing Our Table
Invite someone from your community or a neighbor to eat with you this week.
Host a feast where you invite several people and/or families to eat together.
Week 2: Sharing Our Resources
Identify one thing (time, money, possessions) to sacrificially give or share this week.
Choose something you were planning to sell and give it away to someone you know, instead.
Week 3: Honoring Each Other
Send a message, write a note, or publicly affirm someone.
Forgive from your heart–and in person, if appropriate–someone who has hurt or offended you.
Week 4: Listening to Each Other
In conversation with someone, practice truly listening: avoid interrupting, resist the urge to give advice or change the subject, and ask follow-up questions that reflect what they said rather than satisfying your own curiosity.
Ask someone to share their story with you, engage them with thoughtful questions, and listen deeply to their response.
