Pastor Terry’s Turning Oy to Joy Lockdown Challenge
As we are locked down, we have an opportunity in front of us.
Here’s my Challenge :for the next 28 days
Body: do something each day to become physically healthier: walk, sleep well, eat better…
Mind: turn the tv and internet off or use it less. Read, learn, listen and do something worthwhile
Soul: connect deeply daily with God in prayer, His Word, and worship! Share a verse or thought with the Church!
Others: connect to bless at least one person each day: email, text, write…
We are always better when someone is watching.
So, starting December 26, for the next 28 days of lockdown, feel free to post what you did in the 4 Key practices:
