AUTHOR'S WORD
We do not realize half our possibilities. We
do not more than begin to possess our inherit-
once. Our hands are full of gold and we only
scratch the sand and the shallow soil on the
surface. We live in little bungalows in the valley
when there are splendid palaces waiting for us
on the hilltops. Shall we not push out our tent-
pins and get more room to live in ?

What's Your Problem? Putting Purpose Back into Your ProjectsWhitney Hess
“What do you do?” has become the standard opening line for getting to know someone. But if you were asked, “Why do you do what you do?” how would you answer? We are too narrowly focused on developing solutions for problems that we don’t understand, don’t care about, or worst of all, don’t actually exist. Life is too short to waste our time expertly creating something that matters to no one. Learn to find your “why.” Discover interviewing techniques to build greater empathy with your users, synthesizing techniques to uncover their underlying inefficiencies and frustrations, and tips to continually draw inspiration and long-term product vision from their lives.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

World We Sing

10. Christ for the world
we sing,
the world to Christ
we bring,
with loving zeal;
11. the poor, and them
that mourn,
the faint and overborne,
sin-sick and sorrow-worn,
whom Christ doth heal.
12. Christ for the world
we sing,
the world to Christ
we bring,
with fervent prayer;
13. the wayward and the lost,
by restless passions tossed,
redeemed at countless cost,
from dark despair.
14. Christ for the world
we sing,
the world to Christ
we bring,
with one accord;
15. with us the work to share,
with us reproach to dare,
with us the cross to bear,
for Christ our Lord.
16. Christ for the world
we sing,
the world to Christ
we bring,
with joyful song;
17. the new-born souls,
whose days,
reclaimed from error's ways,
inspired with hope
and praise,
to Christ belong.
18. Leader:
Our lives are a journey, and
the road goes ever on. It’s a
road that began with our birth,
that winds its way through
meadows and mountains, that
crosses rivers and canyons.
19. People:
for the bread that has
sustained us on our
journeys, and for the guides
who have led us,
we offer thanks and
praise, O God.
20. Leader:
We pray for those whose
journeys end mere moments
after they have begun.
22. Leader:
We pray for those whose
paths seem continually to wind
back upon themselves,
spiraling through poverty,
pain, prison of soul or mind
or body,
23. People:
and for those whose
paths coil with malice
until joy and power and life
itself are crushed out.
24. Leader:
In the landscape of your
abounding love, we know
there are paths leading into
tomorrows yet unfathomed.
There are days ahead when all
your children shall walk upon a
green and fruitful earth,
34. Leader:
Deliver us, we pray, from the
mire of grudges and regrets.
We yearn to break away from
all that, to come running to
your open arms, to your arms
that are spread wide with
mercy and acceptance.
35. Together:
All these things we pray
in the name of Jesus,
whose story brings life
to a dying world, hope
to a despairing people,
justice and love to a realm
of strife. Amen.

38. Together:
I believe it is a matter
of faith to stand up
for those who cannot
stand up for themselves.
39. I believe it is a matter
of faith to recognize equally
and love all members
of God’s human family
whatever their race, creed,
color, gender, gender identity,
marital status, physical
or mental capacity.
40. I believe God’s creation
is good, beautiful, sacred,
and therefore to condemn
any portion of God’s creation
is to condemn a portion
of God. This is sin.
41. I believe Jesus Christ came
to us to free all people
from sin and to make disciples
– people willing to live
Christ’s discipline of love and
justice for all.
42. I believe the Holy Spirit
is that power within us that
gives us courage and
stamina to face the truth
and to live it, even to die for it,
as Jesus died.
43. I believe in the resurrection,
the victory over death, the
truth that is life for all in Jesus’
name.
Glory be to God, the One in
Three: Creator, Savior, and
Holy power of love. Amen.
48. Bishop:
Let us covenant together that
we shall not rest until God’s reign
of righteousness is realized
on earth as it is in heaven.
Delegates:
We shall not seek the illusory comfort
of easy answers but will do the
hard work of seeking God’s will
with each new decision.
49. Bishop:
We shall not succumb to the false Gospel
of individualism but shall pursue shalom, the
hope of justice for all God’s people.
Delegates:
We shall not be seduced by the appeal
of tribalism but shall consider
ourselves citizens of an order ruled
by Christ, to whom belongs
all honor and glory, authority and power,
world without end. Amen.
50. Bishop:
O God, as you anointed leaders and called
prophets of old, lead us to recognize our true
representatives and authentic leaders: men
and women who love your people and can walk
with them, who feel their pain and share their
joys, who dream their dreams and strive to
accompany them to their common goal.
51. People:
In your fire, with your Spirit,
embolden and commission these
representatives of the Western NC
Conference to transform our
discernment, to serve your people,
and to bring real glory to your name.
54. Refrain:
This is my prayer,
Lord, to you.
My promise and my vow,
strong and true.
And the covenant I make
on earth,
let it be fulfilled in heaven.
Amen.
55. Bishop:
All of us are bound together by
Christ’s love poured out for us
and through us to the world.

together before God and
one another.

62. Charge to the Laity
(Laity stand)
Bishop:
“The world is our parish,”
John Wesley said.
63. You are the people of God,
living and serving in God’s
world. Will you receive these
persons, as your leaders, sent
to serve Christ, support and
lead the Church in ministry to
all the world?
64. Laity:
We reaffirm our faith in
Christ, and our commitment
to serving Him in our daily
lives. We receive these
persons as servants among
us, and will support them in
our shared ministries.
65. Bishop:
We are God’s people, called
to serve with radical hospitality,
to worship passionately,
to strengthen our faith
intentionally and purposefully,
taking risks in mission and
service, …
66. while giving all we possess
freely, extravagantly, and
generously through God’s
grace. God’s saving grace
stretches out to new
generations everywhere.

opens wide the hearts in all
cultures through the
compassionate giving church:
To welcome diverse people
of all languages, ethnicities,
and backgrounds,

who are lost,
To restore the broken
