| Take it Home!
In your church roots which was emphasized more, personal holiness and spirituality or social action and justice issues?
Which do you think should be emphasized?What is good about each of these emphases?
What is not so good?For your life to be in a healthy balance what should you emphasize more?
Less?What could we do as a church family to become more outwardly focussed?Take It Home – Take this home and use these questions to think about the ideas shared today.
It is even better if you can use these questions in a conversation with someone else.
