Wholeness is not found in the nitpicking or microm

Wholeness is not found in the nitpicking or micromanagement of our quirks and faults, but in the acceptance and understanding that the Creator makes no mistakes. Hold space for yourself, your overachievements and shortcomings alike.

“When people are socially invisible, their needs

“When people are socially invisible, their needs and concerns are not acknowledged and no one even notices the injustices they suffer. Hospitality can begin a journey toward visibility and respect.”
- Christine Pohl, Making Room

Sometimes we can go our entire lives without being truly seen. The spirit of Hospitality empowers us to see each other exactly as we are, and welcome each other with wide open arms. Hospitality is also one of our community's values and is infused into each of our gatherings - whether online, at a Table Gathering or at one of our Second Sunday Gatherings, like what will be happening this Sunday at Society 57.

Let's get together and truly see each other.

Second Sunday Gathering - 11am
at Society 57 - 100 S. River St. in Downtown Aurora

(Our friends, @benthomasonline And @zachgoforthmusic, are both in town and will be leading music and liturgy... don't miss out!)

You. Are. Good. One of The Orchard’s most deepl

You. Are. Good.
One of The Orchard’s most deeply held values is Goodness & Beauty. That’s because when you train yourself to look for the goodness and beauty (rather than the sin) all around you, it inspires and triggers the creative impulse to put more of that goodness and beauty out into the world — a ripple effect that can recreate the world into a what it was made to be.

This fall, we’re returning to our roots with a look into our values in a series we call Words That Matter. While other faith communities organize around statements of faith about what’s right and what’s wrong, who’s in and who’s out, The Orchard organizes around a shared set of values. It’s a great time to dive in and get to know us.

Catch us Sunday at 11 a.m. CDT at the link in bio.

What do you value? Our values, when deeply conside

What do you value? Our values, when deeply considered and clearly articulated, can be a guiding force in our lives, rooting us in who we are and what we care about to help us make decisions big and small. ⁠
⁠
This fall, The Orchard is revisiting our shared values as a faith community in a series we're calling "Words That Matter." While many communities have statements of faith that set out rules for right and wrong, in and out, The Orchard organizes around shared values like goodness, beauty, and wholeness. Now's a great time to jump in and learn more about us as we ground ourselves again in our values and move towards our next chapter. But it's also a great time, as we head into the rhythms of fall and (for many) the new school year, to sit with your own personal or familial values and reflect. ⁠

Some communities rally around things like doctrine

Some communities rally around things like doctrine or “belief statements” -- who's in, who's out, and what the rules are for belonging. The Orchard Community is different in that we unite around a shared set of our core values.⁠
⁠
As we head into the fall, we'll revisiting those values in a series we're calling Words That Matter and talking about what they mean for us as a community as we step into a new chapter. ⁠
⁠
If it's been a while since you've joined us -- or you're totally new to The Orchard -- this is a great time to jump in and connect with us. Link in bio for our 11 a.m. CDT Sunday digital liturgy.
