                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#x1f9f5; Lets talk about <a href="https://vitalwords.org/blog/who-is-calling-us-together/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Who’s Calling Us Together?</a> — a powerful reflection on unity within the Church of God movement, originally written by Rev. Dr. Sethard A. Beverly in 1986 and shared again today because of how deeply relevant it still feels.</p>
<p><a href="https://vitalwords.org/blog/who-is-calling-us-together/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#x1f449; Read the full article on Vital Words</a></p>
<p>As you read, we invite you to slow down and reflect with us.</p>
<p>What stood out to you the most?</p>
<p>Did any part of the article challenge the way we approach unity, fellowship, or ministry today?</p>
<p>Have you experienced moments where believers from different backgrounds, cultures, generations, or perspectives truly came together in Christ?</p>
<p>What “seams” do you see in the church today — and what does it look like to become a “seam sewer” rather than someone who pulls things apart?</p>
<p>Is there a Scripture that came to mind while reading?</p>
<p>This article reminds us that unity doesn’t happen accidentally. It takes humility, intention, courage, and love. In a divided world, the witness of a united Church still matters.</p>
<p>Whether your thoughts are personal, theological, historical, or practical, we’d love to hear from you below.</p>
<p>Let’s keep this space thoughtful, gracious, encouraging, and centered on growing together in Christ.</p>
