Grab a hand…GROW Together: A compassionate heart
By dave.stone | November 5, 2008
As you may know, our thematic goal this year is “Grab a Hand, GROW Together” – an encouragement to grab the hand of someone (older or younger in the faith) who wants to GROW and then to GROW together. Well, GROW is a great concept, but you may be wondering, GROW in what? That’s a good question, we wondered the same thing. Here’s what we came up with…
For the next several weeks, we will focus on GROWing compassionate hearts. During the holiday season there are many practical ways we can GROW compassionate hearts together. Inside this week’s bulletin, a flyer will list several opportunities for GROWing compassionate hearts.
For example:
- Does everyone in your group have plans for Thanksgiving? If not, consider inviting them for dinner.
- Would your group benefit from having a Shoebox Party where you invite other children from the neighborhood to participate (Grab a Hand)?
- Could your group serve together and “grab a hand” of unchurched friends/family to serve with you?
- Would your group benefit from challenging another group towards the collection of food?
- Would your group simply benefit from serving or giving?
- Consider attending the upcoming “World Vision Experience: AIDS” traveling museum with your small group.
Please prayerfully consider ways that you can both Grab a Hand and GROW compassionate hearts in your GROW group.
