To prepare our minds and hearts:

• Walk with humility – “Remember that you are showing up late to a meeting.  God has been at work among these people long before you arrived.”
• Embrace with affirmation – our greatest gift will be affirmation, not criticism
• Live with vulnerability – Don’t fear weakness- it’s our normal state
• Practice flexibility – ALWAYS expect the unexpected – We are NOT in control!
• Live as a student - Be determined to learn from everyone.
• Work as a servant – Be willing to do whatever needs to be done.
• Speak as a storyteller – Let the Spirit tell God’s story through you.
