B.L.E.S.S. Your Way to
A Pray-Care-Share Lifestyle

One church in the Twin Cities has put together the BLESS program to encourage its attenders to live out a pray-care-share lifestyle. Based on a sermon series from Westwood Community Church, Excelsior, MN, BLESS is a great way to reach out to those around you.  

The acrostic BLESS stands for:

B – Begin with prayer
L – Listen and be aware of the needs of those around you
E – Eat with your neighbors, co-workers and friends
S – Serve, look for ways to be a servant to others
S – Tell your story, share your faith...after you have prayed, listened, had a meal, and served.

Download the easy-to-follow pdf with ideas for how to BLESS the people around you.

BLESS is one of the best initiatives I have seen, it brings together prayer, friendship and serving to effectively share our faith in today's culture.  I would encourage every believer to read the pdf and pray about trying this. I also encourage church leaders to consider adapting this for use in their churches. Please contact Westwood regarding permission for your church to personalize the pdf for local use.  

Blessings,
