One word mission statements

Home again but not before taking another session this time on who God says we are. We ended by looking for a one word mission statement.
Funny thing mission statements... Lots of people and organizations have one but no one can ever remember what they are. They need to be portable to have any value at all.
When I came to Mytholmroyd and Cragg Vale ten years ago I brought the word "Open". It affected all that we subsequently did and moreover still affects all we do.
It is why we are open to regeneration and open to partners and open to change.
Today they picked "Together" and "outward" amongst others, I wonder how these mini Mission statements will affect their development? I can't wait to see!
