“So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!”
– 2 Corinthians 5.17 (NRSV) 

What does it mean to be a “new creation?”  We all are yearning for renewal – of our minds, our bodies, our spirits, our communities. But are we willing to pursue it? How is our own personal renewal connected to the renewal of others in our communities, and in the world itself? How can we help God birth this “new creation” in our world? By “tending it” like a gardener tends their garden. Tending means to lean in the direction of something. To “attend” to something is to nurture it, grow it, build it, pay attention to it. So, this is what we will do on the 4-week journey toward the New Creation Christ in-tends for us! So, as we move forward, we will attend to this new creation God in Christ is calling us to build.
