Anamesa: Between A and B

The origins of Anamesa are an interesting one. The name, as you might already know, means “between.” It’s an Ancient Greek word that I thought would make us sound smart and help us stay focused on something greater than ourselves. 

Anamesa is more than a name. Last year our ministerial team has worked hard to teach a new way living out the gospel in the space between A and B. Up until today, my focus has been on A and B, and not the space between them. 

Yet, somewhere in my travels between my house and pastoral call, I realized Anamesa is not just a noun or a verb. We are the conjunction that God has called to go out into the world to connect things occurring at the same point in time or space.

​Like Christ, our mission is to be a bridge that brings people together and all of us back to God. 

As we set our goals and intentions for the new year, one area of focus on is community building and outreach. How we do this is the Holy Spirit’s job to reveal to us.

​If this past year has taught us anything, we know we will need to embrace a faithfulness and a willingness to say, “Yes, And…” to our calling. Then keep our hearts and eyes open to see where that takes us.
