Create intentional space to pray for one another each day. That could be for someone specific, our church as a whole, or perhaps for a group of people like our leaders or our children. The goal is to form the habit of connecting daily with our church family through prayer. It could be for five seconds, five minutes, or 55 minutes. The point is to start somewhere.

Make some kind of contact with someone from church each week outside of a Sunday morning. It could be a text, phone call, message on social media, a written card, singing telegram, etc. Start with people you know well, then try reaching out to someone you’ve met recently or have only spoken with a couple of times. This practice helps us all feel connected throughout the week and encourages us that someone was thinking of us during the week.

Make a plan to meet with at least one person every month. Don't think of it as adding one more thing, but rather inviting others into what you are already doing. Since you have to eat, why not eat with someone else? If you go on walks, consider inviting someone to walk with you. The goal is to increase the times that we are together and connect in genuine relationships outside of Sunday mornings.
