Focus on Five

focus on 5

Our prayer behind this plan is that you’ll experience God in vibrant and meaningful ways as you engage in some simple yet vital spiritual habits.

And our collective experience gives us confidence that such practices will infuse our lives with more energy, more joy, more hope, more purpose…and more impact.

Invest and Invite.

Share God’s love. Sometimes you’re given the perfect opening to invite someone to church. Other times, you need to find common ground and cultivate it before you extend the invitation. Do whatever it takes to “open the door” for others.

Read Your Bible.

Keep the conversation growing and going with Jesus. Get closer to God by regularly studying His teachings. Want to know how to relate to your spouse? Succeed at your job? Forgive an injury? It’s all here. Below are three great Bible reading plans to help plant God’s Word in your heart :

Join a LifeGroup.

Do life together. Cultivate friendships with people who will encourage you to become the person God meant you to be. People who expect you’ll do the same for them. If you’re not presently in a group, contact Pastor Margaret Foltz to find out how to join.

Serve Once a Month.

Help someone. It’s that simple. Serve at the homeless shelter, help in the nursery, make coffee – you choose. Make a habit of serving others; you’ll be surprised by the good it does you.

Do the Next Right Thing.

What’s your next right thing? Maybe it’s joining a small group. Dating your mate. Giving up the remote. Making that long overdue apology. Giving God your tithe. Beginning to serve in ministry. Whatever God prompts you to do next, step up to the challenge and dare to experience his purpose for your life.

With God’s help, we can practice these habits in the coming year and experience him in fresh ways. Please encourage others at church to join you in this commitment and let us know how we can assist you in living out God’s best in the days ahead…
