Dear Matt,
I'm incredibly excited for you, oh man. However, I'm not stoked that I missed you on Saturday and not being able to hear this fantastic news directly from your bearded face. I wish to speak with you soon brother.
In Love,
In Christ,
Blessings,
Trent

What does it look like to be the Body, the Church? How do we create "on earth as it is in heaven?" What are our needs? How do we live missional lives? What can we observe? Who are we to become (or is that the wrong question?)? What are the right questions?
Community:
Together, Contract, Covenant.
No divorce when conflict arrives.-we're in it, and we'll work it out.
We. Collective.
Centralized. Diversity. Brotherhood & Sisterhood.
There is a difference between friendships and servanthood.
Community is not a buffet line. "Ours", and not "Mine"
Not "What can I get" rather, "What can I give"
Everyone has something to give. Give specifically to those who feel they have nothing to give.
Sometimes the poor wear abercrombie.
Community does not operate within a consumerist mindset.
Seek Righteousness, being exclusively outward leaves one incredibly near-sighted.
Fully engaged in relationship.
Amorphous.
