The Practices

Each Practice has a Guide — a script for a Community night, with communion, an overview to read aloud, a practice to do together, and a practice for the week ahead. They are written to be read out loud by whoever is hosting.

Be with Jesus

  1. Prayer

    An honest, ongoing conversation with God, woven through the day.

    Pause and pray morning, midday and evening.

  2. Scripture

    Sitting under the Scriptures and letting them re-form us.

    Read the Scriptures daily.

  3. Solitude

    Waiting on God in the quiet, so he can grow us up in trust.

    A daily time of Silent Prayer. Two minutes is a real beginning.

Become like Jesus

  1. Fasting

    Going without a good thing, so the wanting turns into prayer.

    Fast one meal a week, and pray in the space it leaves.

  2. Sabbath

    Quit, stop, take a break — one day in seven.

    One day in seven to stop, rest, delight and contemplate.

  3. Generosity

    Returning to God what was his in the first place.

    Give — money, time or resources — as a response, not a duty.

  4. Community

    Sharing life together around a table.

    Gather weekly with your Community — eat, pray, share life.

Do what Jesus did

  1. Witness

    Sharing the story of Jesus by the way we live it.

    Pray by name, at midday, for people who don't yet know Jesus.

  2. Service

    Doing what Jesus would do if he were us.

    A monthly act of service on the margins, aimed at kinship.

    Guide coming soon

None of this is meant to be done alone

The Practices were never designed for a person on their own. They are kept around a table, with ten or fifteen people who know your name.
