Here’s the video we showed in the worship gathering last night of PS22 in New York City:

Last night (April 19, 2009) was week one of our microcosm series at The Freeway. Anjanette and the gang did a great job of leading us in musical worship (see/hear a short snippet here), Robin did a great job of communicating The Freeway’s ideas about connecting with culture (read some notes of his message here), and there was some really good discussion and community time.

Our current teaching series / worship gathering theme at The Freeway is called: “microcosm.” Influenced by our understanding of mission as found in Luke 10:1-12, we will examine seven traits of The Freeway’s mission over the course of seven weeks as follows:

• Cultured: We immerse ourselves in the current culture without becoming a product of it. We want to create, influence, and subvert culture.
• Neighboured: We are committed to the local. We try our best to love our neighbours [and our neighbourhood], especially those who are marginalized, disenfranchised, and disregarded.
• Partnered: We are in this together [proximity, deep relationships, networked].
• Storied: We want to listen more and talk less. Listening to other people’s story and connecting their story with God’s amazing story, changes us.
• Shared: Everything we own is God’s and we need to share our lives with others [generosity & hospitality].
• Normalized: The church community is simply a catalyst for transforming everyday actions and priorities [“go” instead of “attract”]. We believe that the Spirit of God is at work in the lives of everyday people in everyday environments.
• Kingdomized: We want to be an active part of living out and naming the Kingdom that Jesus established here on earth [shalom].
