What can we do to encourage each other to abide in Christ?
How will living in Jesus impact our gospel witness and impact on others around us?

Prayer Points

Pray for God to bring to our attention the barriers in our lives keeping us from walking closely with Jesus.
Pray that God will empower us to remain in Christ and live out the love for each other that Jesus calls us to.
Pray for us that the joy of Christ will overflow in ways that highlight Jesus in the eyes of those who don’t yet know him.

Reach One

As we continue to grow as Thoughtful Witnesses, we’re inviting everyone to “reach one” person that’s far from God by praying for them by name daily and engaging them in some way monthly (see the page below for ideas). To help encourage one another in this season, we’re asking each Community Group to discuss the following questions at least monthly.

How can we pray for your “one”? How are you hoping to engage your “one” this month?
