Loving Others
CareRings
What is a CareRing? A CareRing is exactly what the name implies…a ring or circle of friends that care for one another. These small groups include people who are concerned about their relationships and who are willing to share others discoveries, burdens, and needs. We share each other’s discoveries through practical down-to-earth Bible application.We will be a “CareRing” for others. . . being Christ to them.
We will be carrying one another’s burdens in praying for them and supporting them in trials.
We can share other's needs the more we trust one another and listen to each other's hurts, joys, sorrows, and cares. In all this we will be giving ourselves and, more importantly, sharing Jesus with those who are in spiritual need and/or may be new to Christ and His church.
We study God’s Word, we pray with and for others, and we pass on God’s love to them. All this. . . and more, is wrapped up in this opportunity of “CareRings!”
