Today is the day. Over 300 leaders from across the area are gathering as one to talk about unity and practically what that looks like for the Church in St. Louis. Follow along and share your posts with #onefuturestl

It’s going to be a beautiful day! We are gathering with pastors and church leaders from all over St. Louis to worship and learn together how we can be the Church. #onefuturestl

"The zero-sum game is a game the Church cannot afford to play. What if instead, together, we saw each other as allies instead of competition." -Greg Holder #onefuturestl

“The church is the hub, not the destination.” Reggie McNeal #onefuturestl

"God has called you to a larger stewardship–stewardship of community. Don't just build a great church, build a great community." - Reggie McNeal #onefuturestl

"You cannot just say, 'I tried.' You have to stay the course, especially when it gets dark. You have to keep pushing." - @KMCollier22 #onefuturestl

"Christ makes it possible for us to love one another even if we don't think, talk, or walk alike...The love of God is revolutionary. It subverts the status quo." - Dr. Ben Wayman #onefuturestl

Question for the day: What is your hope for the St. Louis region? #onefuturestl

We heard from a panel of 4 pastors from different areas in our region. Here are just a couple of things they had to say about how we can be praying for one another. #onefuturestl

"Unity is not uniformity–it is our ability to see and celebrate our differences. The Church is St. Louis is called to celebrate our differences and unite around our common mission." - @AntwainJackson #onefuturestl

"Imagine what the world would look like if we put our differences aside." - Kenny DeShields #onefuturestl

May this be the prayer for our city. "Holy Spirit, You are welcome here Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere Your glory, God, is what our hearts long for To be overcome by Your presence, Lord." #onefuturestl

"The world looks at the Church and asks, 'are they on the same team?'" - Peter Greer #onefuturestl

"We need a combination of bonding and bridging. Bonding is what we do with people who look and act like us. Bridging is reaching out and creating relationships with people who aren't like us," - Amy Inman #onefuturestl

"Trusting others is risky but ultimately we trust a God who promises to go with us." - John Inazu #onefuturestl

"As the Church, we are called to be the prophetic voice of the nations." - David Hawkins #onefuturestl

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday. We'll be sharing quotes and photos from the day on the One Future STL facebook page. Keep the conversations going and share your posts with #onefuturestl.
