The disciples begin this chapter by asking Jesus who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? They want to know who matters most? Who is in? Who has status? Jesus answers—but he refuses the premise of their question. The disciples want a ranking…Jesus gives them relationship.

Jesus sings the song of the Kingdom to remind them who they are, to whom they belong, and what they owe one another when one of them loses their way.

Underneath every verse is the same refrain: Humanity—all parts of it—matters too much to God for any part of it to disappear.

Listen in on Meghann's message on Matthew 18:15-20 to hear about the three movements in "the song of the kingdom" Pursue. Regain. Build

Shared housing has been an important strategy for Micah to help house more of our neighbors in a high-cost housing market. But it also helps individuals build relationships that can help them on their path toward greater stability and flourishing. Listen to Micah's Meghann Cotter talk about how we do it on MRDC's Evidence First podcast. (Link in comments)

The Jeremiah Community prototype home continues to take shape. Today, On Call Concrete By Donnelly Concrete poured the slab that will be the scene of the 72-hour build for this home.

The prototype represents the start of an exciting new phase for Jeremiah, which will bring life-changing permanent supportive housing to those who have been chronically without a place to live.

Come celebrate with us on Sept. 13, at an open house for the completed prototype home from 10:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. at 404 Willis St. in Fredericksburg. We will bless the house at 3 p.m.

We had a wonderful time this morning at the Fawn Lake VA Triathlon! For the third year in a row, we were honored to be one of the six local charities selected to receive support through this event. We are so impressed by the athleticism and generosity of our community!

Thank you to all of our Spotsylvania friends who came out to support the Jeremiah Community at the Aug. 25 Board of Supervisors meeting.

While homelessness is often thought of as an urban problem, the numbers increasingly tell a different story. One-third of the unhoused population that Micah serves comes from a last fixed address in Spotsylvania County. And we are currently aware of 22 individuals actively living outside in the county.

“Twenty years ago, I never would have told you that people were living outside in Stafford and Spotsylvania counties,” Micah Executive Servant-Leader Meghann Cotter told the Board of Supervisors. But as our region develops, we are seeing that our unhoused neighbors have spread out geographically.

Local government support will be an important part of making the Jeremiah Community—and dramatic progress toward ending street homelessness in our region—a reality. We are thankful that Spotsylvania leaders invited us to deliver our message this week.

Breaking News: On Wednesday, we poured footers for the prototype house for the Jeremiah Community here at the The Oberle Academy in Fredericksburg. This prototype is the culmination of years of work and collaboration among many partners in our community dedicated to making Fredericksburg a place where there is a home for everyone.

Atlantic Builders and its trade partners will build this home from the ground up in 72 hours starting Sept. 8. We invite you to come see the final product on Sept. 13, between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., here at 404 Willis Street in Fredericksburg. This is an exciting day for all who have worked so hard for years to see this dream become a reality.
