It was fantastic this morning to launch a new missional community called The Hive.  Led by Heather Barrington, this new community will reach out to families through having fun together and sharing an extended family meal.

We agreed to pray

• that they’s hear clearly from God and follow His leading
• for blessing on their people of peace
• that they’d grow closer to one another as they pray, plan and laugh together

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
