This is the real heart of 40 Days of Community—getting people to focus personally on the principles of the campaign through the daily devotional readings. Better Together: What On Earth Are We Here For? is a complete campaign workbook that is meant to accompany daily Bible reading.
One of the most powerful elements of the campaign is encouraging people to explore and experience true biblical community. Groups are the primary engine throughout 40 Days of Community, and through them people will discover and experience authentic community and grow to identify and serve the needs of each other, your church family, and your community.
Weekend services are the platform that aligns the community within your congregation. Each service is designed to reinforce the 40 Days of Community daily devotional readings, small group teachings, and events. Your congregation will be challenged to put what they are learning into action in practical ways that have a big impact.
Every step of the way, 40 Days of Community integrates events which serve as a catalyst to deepen community within your church family and challenge your members to reach out to the community beyond your church. Your 40-day journey begins with a dynamic Kick-Off message, motivates with a Ministry Fair, and concludes with Celebration Sunday. Plus, your groups will put their learnings into action by launching local mission projects to serve practical needs in your community.
The campaign kick-off is the foundation upon which the campaign is built. It focuses your church on the purpose of the campaign and gets everyone on the same page prior to the campaign launch. Pastor Rick’s Kick-Off message, "We’re Better Together", will inspire your congregation to commit wholeheartedly to this campaign. This message is the motivational launch point that will establish the momentum you need to launch the campaign. The Kick-Off Event can be scheduled around your church’s calendar and can be viewed on DVD.
