1. Pay attention to visitors. Seek out people you don’t know.

2. Care for people facing tragedies. Caring for each other proves we have been with Jesus.

3. Support families during illness.

4. Share Jesus. People are drawn to joyous believers.

5. Send cards and/or make calls.

6. Make friends outside your age group.

7. Serve in groups.

8. Love each other.

Our Cape congregation assigns members according to Units. These Units are under the direction of our church leadership. Such Units allow for the above practical suggestions to take place. Paul said, “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.” (1 Corinthians 12:26,27). Do your best to serve the Lord while you may. R.H.
