Encouragement

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

(1 Thessalonians 5:11)

We are focusing on being encouraging within our church community and other spheres of our lives in August. It is a way of gently discipling each other. Everyone can be involved including the children.

Here are some resources to help you in encouraging others.
