Happy October!! I'm thrilled (if a little intimidated by the prospect of blogging every day for 31 days again) to be starting this new series. Last year, I wrote about Sewing School on Simple Homemade; this year I will be tackling a very different topic, exploring a life lived intentionally in community.
So first? What I don't mean to talk about...
This is not referring to living in a hippie commune (as fun as that may be) or any kind of organized "intentional community." I realize that that is indeed an actual thing, but I'm just simply using the term to describe a lifestyle inspired by this simple theme:
Love God, Love Others.
Today's post will serve as a landing page for this series and I will begin sharing more of my thoughts tomorrow. I'll update this index as I go, so you can always come back here or pin this particular post in case you miss a post or want to save it for later.
This is Day 1.
Day 2: This is how I define intentional community
Day 4: We already have a community
Day 7: Praying for our community
Day 8: Praying with our community
Day 9: Use your passions to bless others, or Ice Cream Sundays at the Bennett house
Day 10: The power of an invitation
Day 12/13: {no post, out enjoying community! ;)}
Day 14: Loving the body of Christ
Day 15: Community FTW! (or, why I love secret FB groups)
Day 16: Gospeling each other, the idolatry of the nuclear family, and balancing family & community
Day 21: Seeing to each other's needs
Day 22: Errands + friends = community
Day 23: Leaving a legacy of community & hospitality
Day 24: Leaving room for spontaneity
Day 25: Battling the idol of the schedule
Days 26-28: Partnership in the gospel + 2 more ways to engage in community
Day 29: The blessings of an open-door policy
Day 30: Working together with a purpose
Day 31: Love God, love others... with Christ as our common ground
