The Art of Neighboring,  A Mini Conference with Dave Runyon Friday, March 15 10:30 a.m. – 12 noon, Saint James Church, James Island, Open to the Public. Register here.

What if Jesus meant that we should love our actual neighbors?

When Jesus was asked to sum up everything into one command, he said to love God with everything we have and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Most of us have turned this simple idea of loving our neighbors into a nice saying, putting it on bumper stickers and refrigerator magnets and then going on with our lives without actually putting it into practice.

What would happen if every follower of Jesus took the Great Commandment literally?

Join us Friday, March 15 at St. James, James Island, to hear Pastor Dave Runyon share his own testimony of how the idea of neighboring impacted his own walk with the Lord, and re-doubled his efforts to share what the Lord put on his heart with church and community leaders all across the country.

Let’s collectively have our hearts refreshed in the gospel and in Jesus’ commandment, trusting him to start a movement that will change our own lives, our neighborhoods and our diocese.
