But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.
-James 1:22 

One of the distinctive aspects of our church community is the way we take seriously the call to not just hear the good news of God's new reign, but also to live in a way that reflects God's hope (and our hope) for the world. We seek to reflect our faith and values in many varied but tangible ways. Sometimes it's through shared actions like outreach and service projects that benefit our local community. Often, though, we find ways to be "doers of the word" by making small changes in our daily lives that remind ourselves and our neighbors that the path of Jesus is truly another way of living.  

Comfortably biking to work in the rain doesn't have to suiting up in Goretexlike an alpineer. In streetwise Amsterdam, cyclists reach for wool and leatherwhen the weather turns wet. My rain commuting pants of choice are nowwool/polyester dress pants from Elder Beerman. They aren't waterproof, but theydry quickly are comfortable when they do get wet.

Fenders and a chainguard also help to enable all weather riding in everydayclothes. As a backup plan, a spare change of clothes can stored at work just incase they are needed. For more inspiration of people cycling in everydayclothes, see Copenhagen Cycle Chic.
