Reflection questions:

1. Have you prayed about how you can serve some of our high-risk members of our congregation at this time?

2. Have you prayed about how to better engage with your small group/Bible study/community group at this time? If you’re not in a group, what might be the benefits of being in one? (Also, reach out to the staff or elders if you’re not in a group but want to be in one.)

3. Are you expecting great things from God this year? Have you been tempted to despair about your circumstances? What great things for God do you think He wants you to attempt next?
