Prayer & Action Groups
These groups are focused on four things:
1. Deeply understanding the focus issue through reading, discussion, and meeting with experts.
2. Praying together about the needs that we discover.
3. Developing a clear plan of action for each person in the group to use their gifts/abilities/resources to address the focus issue.
4. Identify opportunities for our church to get involved.
