The Chaos Project: Week Four - Loving Others Through Prayer

We're considering running an Alpha Course after the Summer holidays.
Start praying about it now, especially asking if there is anyone that
you should invite to come along.

The Chaos Project: Week Four - Loving Others in Words

Jesus said, "Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'"
(Mt. 5:37) Make a deliberate effort one day, having asked for the
Spirit's assistance, to speak honestly. Be alert to the little ways we
are tempted to fudge the truth or deceive others subtly to our
advantage.

Make the effort to visit someone you know who is sick or lonely - it
is so easy for us to become so caught up in our daily lives that we
forget to care for others.

The Chaos Project: Week Three - Loving Others by Deeds

Surprise someone at work by getting him or her a cup of coffee (or tea!) when you get one for yourself. If you get the chance to be prepared beforehand, get a cake or biscuit for them too.

If someone asks you about your weekend this week, take the opportunity to include going to church and what that means to you. There's no need to over do it, but its very easy not to say anything at all. Who knows where mentioning it may take the conversation.

Pray that God will help you listen to the promptings of his Spirit, and make a conscious effort this week to listen out for the quiet whisper of God calling you to help others.
