Take a moment to share any good news reports or answers to previous prayer requests. Then spend time praying for each other as a group so that God might encourage and equip you in your faith journey, and to help more people find and follow God.
“We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.” — 2 Thessalonians 1:3 (NIV)
