BECOMING ROOTED & LINKED - A NEW BRANCH

Have you ever read Romans 16? Paul names a long list of people and places linked together as churches who belong to THE Church; households and congregations linked together, who support one another. Though they were rooted in a certain part of Rome, or some other region, or are identified with particular host or leader, there was a sense of connection between them.

What does this have to do with Emmaus Road? One of the nine ROOTS & BRANCHES our church discerned as a ministry priority is for us to grow beyond our sense of "rootedness" to becoming more "linked". Our sister churches of the Christian Reformed Cluster in Seattle, our neighborhood partners in the Belltown Covenant, our colaborers in the Gospel for whom we intercede, and others - these are like the people and groups listed in Romans 16 in our context. How can we support one another, collaborate, and share, for the sake of the Kingdom?

How do envision Emmaus Road could be more linked? Is this an area of growth that interests you? Let your pastor know.
