Meeting 10 [Community] - Caring for Self, Serving Others
Icebreaker:
- Positive: “What’s one thing you’ve been looking forward to each week?”
- Negative: “What’s something lately that’s been quietly draining you?”
Introduction: In our last [community] meetings, we discussed that you cannot pour from an empty cup, and we also met our candidate Pastor Emmanuel. This week, we will continue to assess ourselves honestly, and try to bring up some personal lessons and encouragement.

Access’ Mission
We are a church seeking to live life with God in soul, community, and mission.
Community
God has created a new community, the church, and we journey together. Even though we are all imperfect, together we can offer one another love, grace, truth and challenge. Together we are learning to live the way that Jesus taught and become a preview of God’s coming kingdom.
