What are your core values?

Grace Fellowship starts 5-week series
focusing on church's foundational beliefs


ORLANDO — Debbie and I picked a perfect time to attend a new church.

We went to Grace Fellowship in downtown Orlando this morning and were welcomed by senior pastor Mike Adkins, who was starting a new sermon series, "Why You're Here," outlining the nondenominational community's Core Values.

Today we learned about "God's Presence" at Grace Fellowship, and over the next four weeks Mike will cover "External Focus," "Transformational Community," "Meaningful Ministry" and "Authentic Living."

After the series on foundational beliefs (Aug. 6-Sept. 3), Grace will host a program for new members called "The Partnership Experience."

We're planning to be there.

On the ride home, Debbie said we should write out the core values for our marriage . . .

Isn't that something that going to church is supposed to do — challenge you to take a good look inside, at your fundamental beliefs?

Credo ut itelligem--belief precedes knowledge; it is the first step. We need to make an intial leap of faith. Faith is stronger than fear, and fear is the killer of beginnings. ~ Anne Hazard Aldrich, Notes From Myself, 1998
