Five
Practices of Fruitful Congregations
by Robert Schnase
Radical Hospitality
Passionate Worship
Intentional Faith
Development
Risk-Taking Mission and
Service
Extravagant Generosity
These are the Five Practices of vital, fruitful congregations. These ideas
aren’t secret or new, but they are the practices that can lead to
excellence and growth in the life of our church. And they are the
practices we will be focusing on for five consecutive weeks. Our Lenten
journey will begin the week of February 21 and end the week of March 21.
Just imagine what can happen if everyone in our
congregation will spend five weeks—just thirty-five days—reading,
praying, discussing, and focusing on these five practices. God can
change individuals, entire families, and our whole church—thus changing
the difference we can make in and beyond our surrounding community.
You are invited to participate in this exciting
emphasis in a variety of ways:
