New Year greetings to you, Communitas family and friends!
Our Wellness Team (made up of both the Training and the People Care & Formation teams) wanted you to know that you are on our minds and in our prayers as we consider the ways God is inviting us all to participate in the Kingdom story throughout 2026.
This year, as we make plans to continue to provide care and support throughout the organization, we hope you’ll reach out to us with prayer requests, training desires, and other suggestions for us to consider. We hope that the following offerings are not just resources for you but a blessing to who you are and the work God has called you to.

As you step across the threshold from one year to the next
May you remember that God goes with you.
Your steps are not yours alone,
but are accompanied by the One who is present.
May you know that very little of life is make-or-break,
as so much of what lies ahead is “try and see.”
May you know the freedom that comes from invitation
and the joy that is found in exploration.
May you find this new year abundant with grace for yourself
and rich with love for those who share this journey with you.
May you be attentive to the gentle lessons and quiet whispers God offers,
and full of imagination for what’s possible.
May you be strengthened with a heart to lament the losses
and a genuine honesty to admit the disappointments.
As you step courageously into this new year
may you be gifted with belonging, wisdom, and purpose.
