He asks good questions, he points us towards Jesus, and he encourages us to live without fear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We love each other. Our clergy and lay leaders gather frequently for spiritual direction, bible study, retreats, and pastoral support. We are close colleagues \u2013 no one goes it alone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We love our communities. We are feeding and housing people. We show up at the State House, at prisons, and along rivers. We do not leave distressed towns &#8211; we find new ways to gather and share Good News.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We wonder. Where is God leading us? What do we learn in the wilderness? What\u2019s our purpose? How can we see Jesus in people we do not understand?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more about hiking and skiing, schools and arts, industry, and taxes in the Granite State at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nh.gov\/index.htm\"><strong>Nh.gov<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019d love to welcome you to the Granite State!
