G.R.O.W. THIS SUMMER!

This summer we’re seeking to grow spiritually as a church as we simultaneously strategize on how to renovate our facilities to keep up with our church's growth.

 

Here’s the plan to GROW this Summer in Gratitude, Reflection, Outreach, and Worship:

 

FIRST: Continue reading a chapter a day of the book of Acts that corresponds to the date.  

SECOND: Try adding in a prayer of thankful Gratitude (the "G" in G.R.O.W).

THIRD: Try adding in a couple of minutes of prayerful pondering on the Scripture in what could be called

a  R-eflection Time.

 

READING THIS WEEK:                    

   July 13 – Read Acts 13   + GR

   July 14 – Read Acts 14   + GR

   July 15 – Read Acts 15   + GR

   July 16 – Read Acts 16   + GR

   July 17 – Read Acts 17   + GR

   July 11 – Read Acts 18   + GR

   July 12 – Read Acts 19   + GR

 

G-ratitude Prayer:                                   

“God, as Psalms 9 & 86 declare, I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. Thank you for THE Scriptures, and thank you for this Scripture…”

 

R-eflection Time:

“God, as Lamentations 3 says, your mercies are new every single morning! Great is your faithfulness! For 2 minutes I will ponder this Bible chapter with a grateful heart. What word of mercy is there? What do you want me to know or do?”

TO HELP YOU FIND THE WAY GOD'S ENABABLED YOU TO SERVE WELL:

What’s your S.H.A.P.E. for serving the Lord? 

SPIRITUAL GIFTS: What are some of the spiritual gifts you think God may be giving you now?

HEART: Who & what do you REALLY care about? (Who’s close to your heart, what maybe breaks your heart, what do you read up on or study or look into a lot...?)

ABILITY: What natural abilities do you have that you could use to serve, help, and/or encourage people now? (And what do you delight in doing that might help people? Great reader, learner, teacher, athletic, sew w

PERSONALITY: What is it about you that blesses other people? (Shy but great listener, introverted and notices left out people, super friendly, extroverted talker but encourages people easily…)

EXPERIENCES: What darkness have you overcome that prepared you to serve now? (School work was tough, loss of friends, physical problems, money issues, abuse, loneliness, doubt...)

PRAY: “Jesus, help me to understand how you have shaped me to be able to serve you and the people around me in the right way. Amen!"
