The church is invited into a transformative journey of surrender, discovery, awakening, risk, and blessing. With an adult facilitator guide, age-specific lessons, and worship and sharing services, explore how God is already at work around you. Perfect for congregations, camps, and small groups ready to move beyond “church as usual” and become a blessing to all creation. 

This prayer is a central spiritual practice in Community of Christ, inviting disciples to live missionally by listening for God’s guidance and responding with courage and compassion. Our choice to respond to God’s love is where the journey begins.

As we experience this resource in a reunion setting or as a study text, let us ask ourselves these questions:

• What if Jesus’ message and mission is as much about the present as the future?
  
• What if we, you and I, are called to join God in co-creating this future today?
