Memorize/Reflect- “It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service…” (Ephesians 4:11-12)

Reflection- What can I do to be more equipped and prepared for ministry at Shoreline and in our community?

Discussion- What is one area of volunteer ministry you have a passion to serve but have not yet explored? What can you do to learn more about how God might use you in this ministry?

Prayer Direction- Pray for God to empower every leader at Shoreline to effectively recruit, equip, and encourage ministry volunteers!

“Live It!” Challenge- Write a note to a Shoreline leader who has helped inspire you toward service or who has trained you to serve the Lord. Thank them for their ministry.

February Prayer Focus: Use the C.A.T.S. prayer format for one more week. Next week Pastor Kevin will introduce a new way of praying (A-Z Prayers).

January-March: Take a new step in fasting. Give up one thing this week and each time you think about it, talk with the God who satisfies all your needs and longings!
