September always feels like a new start. School is back in session, the pause of summer vacations have come to an end, and there is renewed focus on moving forward. It’s no di erent for us at Commons. And so every year we like to start September with a re ection on the central concepts that guide our community. This year we’ll take the letter of 1st John as our guide and walk through those three key values that shape Commons. Intellectually honest. Spiritually passionate. With Jesus at the centre.
