The Sunday morning service at Hesston Mennonite Church was a great summary of the weekend by Megan Good. (Go to HMC's media page on their site and scroll down to sermon videos. You may need to hit previous till you find the October 31 service.) The service challenged us to action and created spaces for us to encounter Jesus and be transformed. Here is another article with good summation. Way to go Rachel from Shickley!

Balance moral challenge and spiritual transformation.
Balance the horizontal and vertical pieces of the cross.
Balance relationship with others and relationship with Jesus.
Balance ethical learning and opportunities to encounter Jesus.
