In this season many pastors and churches
are changing partners.
You are dancing; you are not married.
Receive your partner with love.
Welcome them warmly.
Remember they’re a person.
Open your heart.
Listen for the music.
Let the Spirit lead.
Remember who you are.
Honor who they are.
Listen for their song.
Forgive them already.
Walk with them.
Come to serve, not to be served.
Focus on serving the world.
Check your assumptions.
Make it work.
Embrace change.
Be willing to change.
Embody resurrection.
Begin with Yes.
Imitate Jesus.
Pray always.
Follow God with them.
Dance while the music lasts.
Let them go when it is time.
