What's your S.H.A.P.E.? 

This term (summer term 2022) we're asking, "What's your SHAPE?" Dan explains more in the 4-minute introductory video above - or you could watch the 25-minute talk where Dan set some of the biblical basis for this term's theme. 

It's no fun being a round peg in a square hole. 

God has created us all unique; calling us all to serve him in our own unique way. 
SHAPE is a tool first developed by Rick Warren (Saddleback Church) to help each of us discern the unique way God calls us to serve him - to help us be round pegs in round holes. 

​S = Spiritual gifts
H = Heart passions
A = Abilities
P = Personality
E = Experiences

On Sundays, we're be exploring spiritual gifts. Midweek (in our small groups and by ourselves), we're looking at each of the aspects of SHAPE in turn through some discussion/study notes, and through some podcasts. 

We'll keep this page updated with more materials during the term.
