We’ve recently been intrigued by the science behind mycelium, or what some refer to as the “woodwide web.” It’s an intricate connection among the roots of trees and fungi in healthy forests that allows them to share resources, communicate and extends the life of the connected plants.
It made us think – what’s the mycelium of our church? How are we connected at a level that energizes and sustains our work? We’d like to invite you to join us as part of a new team and communication channel that we’re calling The Grove, inspired by this idea.
As some of Foothills most engaged members, you are already invested in the health of our community. Members of the Grove will receive timely updates on church business news and help us shape the information that is shared with the entire congregation by providing input and feedback. Content will be shared in real time through our church center app, blogs and emails. We’ll summarize the important points approximately four times a year at congregational and town hall meetings.
We’ll host our first Grove Town Hall on August 27th from 6-7:30 PM in the sanctuary and online. Below is a link to an extensive packet with lots of organizational updates and news for you to review ahead of the meeting.
We hope you’ll join us and help us continue to grow our grove, so we can keep stewarding Foothills together. We auto-opted you into this group, and if you are not interested in being a part, please let us know. Stay tuned for more details on how we’ll continue to share information and tie into the Church Center app.
