Rise Up and Build

“Rise Up and Build” is a New Year journey of spiritual renewal, shared purpose, and joyful dedication. Inspired by the story of Nehemiah, this series calls us to seek God’s guidance through prayer, to discern the gifts we bring for the building of Christ’s community, and to dedicate those gifts in faith and celebration. As Nehemiah prayed, rallied the people, and led them in sacred work, we too are invited to commit ourselves afresh to God’s vision, offer our strengths for the good of the church and the world, and rejoice in the strength that comes from the joy of the Lord. Together, we will enter the year not only remembering where we’ve been, but trusting where God is leading us.
