The Lord captured our hearts within the Vineyard movement around several key distinctions including: following Jesus in real ways, “doing the stuff” that we had read about in the Gospels but never seen in a real everyday life way; serving our neighbors in real ways; ministering to the poor through relational outreach offering food and prayer; engaging worship singing songs that are intimate, expressing our hearts to Jesus and embracing His presence into our gatherings; and facilitating time in our gatherings for prayer ministry to each other and for anyone in need.
