It was fantastic to launch another missional community this morning: A Time to Sew.  This new worshipping (Up) and discipling (In) community will reach out (Out) through a weekly sewing cafe with training and help on hand. It will be led by Elizabeth Gosden.

We agreed to pray

• for the team as they work together and share their lives
• for each person who attends the cafe
• that they will be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and not miss an opportunity to share their love of Jesus.

A missional community is an extended family of relationships on mission together. It’s a shared-life community that connects with God, is intentional about its discipleship and shares in a common mission. In this new season Burlington is seeking to launch many missional communities.  Having emphasised our gathered life we are now seeking to balance that with a much greater emphasis on being dispersed. Our attractional mission is becoming incarnational too.  More here
