Introductions

            • Who are you?


            • Where are you from?


            • Why this session?

Jesus feeds the 5000
                         (John 6:1-14)

            • Philip’s answer
            • Andrew’s answer
            • Jesus’ action

Definitions
            • Abundance
                     •   What if we shared from this sense of abundance that we know God provides, rather than a fear that there isn’t enough for everyone?


                     •   What if we were to engage the lives of those around us, eager to share what God has blessed us with...as thanks to God?




            • Community Engagement
                     •   Why do companies do CE?


                     •   We cannot reach the unchurched without building relationships and knowing the community, being a part of the fabric of community




            • Distinct from Missions
                     •   How are Missions and CE different?


                     •   Missions often focuses on the needs of the less fortunate...CE’s goal is to incorporate church into community life

How We Engage
    Needs assessments recognize the need in a situation and
    provide a plan of action for meeting that need.

            • Needs Assessment for your context: What are the
              needs your church is meeting locally?
            • Activity:
                     • Complete the worksheet
                     • Share with your neighbor
