Last fall a member of our congregation brought to my attention a report from GfK Custom Research, a noted market research organization. They released results from a 2005 study of various values that Americans hold dear. The report was intended to inform product and service providers about purchasing motivation, advertising strategies and marketing messages. However, the list of values intrigued me as tangible expressions of what Christian living can create and cultivate. So, in worship during the season of Epiphany we’ll look closer at these values in ascending order of rank from 7th to 1st: Stable Relationships, Justice, Friendship, Health and Fitness, Freedom, Family and Honesty.
