Theme and General Details
This year's theme talks about our perseverance to a life that God intends for us.
We will do whatever it takes to bring God's kin-dom into the CI community, no matter what.
We all come from different contexts and stages of life.
There is a normalized hustle and bustle culture, but all of us have a big heart to want to provide a loving space for each other.
"No Matter What" is asking us how we intentionally form our time with one another
and actually create a space for ourselves that is safe and loving.
How are we listening to one another, encouraging one another,
and guiding each other to belonging in God's kin-dom?
CI-PNW was grateful to continue creating a space of home, of hope, and of belonging.
