On September 5, 2021, another Motivation Workshop gathered women in a small in-person group in Hamburg and others on Zoom from other parts of Germany as well as Portugal. Benny Brunotte introduced us to the 10 iCOR values:
Connecting, Caring, Participating, Worshipping, Teaching, Serving, Reconciling, Mentoring, Training, Leading. They are intended to nurture the commitment and attitude fostered by the church to be a family of God and form an intergenerational community of believers to satisfy the spiritual needs of young people specially. These values form the foundation for further church activities and help the church to define and implement its individual goals.
We concentrated on the values we have in our lives: Love, compassion, understanding, boundaries, attention, dependability, and acceptance.
These values and attitudes are important when we consider how to make worship services relevant to all generations. We also learned about conflict solving strategies in Bible texts like Matthew 15:21-28.
We concluded that we have to keep asking ourselves whether the values we adhere to are still the right ones. Considering such questions will bring us together in our churches and help spiritual growth in members.
We would like to thank Benny Brunotte for his valuable coaching.
