Can you list our first 3 Mission Values (Pillars of Influence) from memory? We encourage everyone to be able to recall these at any time.

Can you state our Mission Statement?

Read Ephesians 4:14-16 2) If we are no longer children or infants in our spiritual maturity but adults, how do we as "mature" in Christ speak the truth in love to others who are not "mature"? If love is the fuel of the church, how can we speak love to others to grow the church?

and that I can in turn speak God's truth in love to them. 3. This week, I will take time to thank the people that took the risk to speak the truth in love

to me. 4. This week, I will memorize Ephesians 4:15, Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in
