Start by noticing what your ordinary choices are building. Who receives your attention? What habits are shaping you? What would you like to change by next November? A meaningful life is not always a dramatic life. On November 1 in Allen, we begin with the question, “Am I Wasting My Life?”

Name one pattern you want to change, whether it is angry reactions, silence during conflict, or avoiding difficult conversations. Practice a different response and ask trusted people for support. Counseling can help with deeply rooted patterns. Our November 8 message, “What Am I Passing On?”, explores how influence can change.

Start with a few repeatable habits: listen without interrupting, apologize when you get it wrong, and make room for time together. If you want to work through these questions with a local faith community, you are welcome at First Christian Church of Allen. On November 22 we are asking, “Will My Family Be Better Because of Me?”

Look at what your recent spending, saving, and giving reveal about what matters to you. Do those choices point where you want your life to go? On November 15 our Legacy Code message asks, “What Does My Money Say About Me?” We also have a free financial education evening on November 12 with professionals from Thrivent.

Let your family see your faith in ordinary choices. Make room for questions. Apologize when you are wrong. Be willing to say you are still learning. Our free Legacy Code Workbook has reflection questions on faith, character, generosity, and relationships.

Yes. Whether you are curious, skeptical, returning after a long time, or visiting for the first time, you are welcome at FCC Allen. Legacy Code meets Sundays, November 1, 8, 15, and 22 at 10:30 AM, 1207 Twin Creeks Dr., Allen, TX. Neighbors from Plano, McKinney, and nearby communities are welcome too.
