'Discovering' is quite a humble word: it recognises that we don't have all the answers, but are trying to find them. And it's an open word, inviting others to join us on our journey.   'Life' expresses the longing deep within each of us for, as Jesus put it, 'life in all its fullness' (John 10:10).   'Together' is a challenge to the isolation and breakdown of our society and a recognition that the Gospel is all about relationships restored - with God and with other people.   We're exploring with others to find and offer a life-giving community, something that's broken in each of our lives.   As Christians, we know that we can look to Jesus Christ to see the nature of God reflected and to find the answers that we seek.

Jesus teaches us that life should be lived with an active love that responds to God's love for us by loving back, with emotions, soul, intellect and body.   Life should be lived by actively demonstrating our love for God and for other people with the same love that we'd like to be shown ourselves (Mark 12:28-30). Jesus commissioned those of us who follow him to go into the entire world, beginning with the town, indeed the family, in which we live.   We are to minister to others' needs - the sheep are divided from the goats on the basis of what their actions reveal about their beliefs (Matthew 25:31-46) - and to get others to commit to following Jesus too.
