How to Do Ten Things
It's pretty much up to you how you do it but we suggest the following may help.
1: Do it with others Church is community. We learn together and support each other as disciples. Doing this together can help keep us accountable and show support for one another. So why not do this with your church community, home group, congregation, youth group, group of friends,
2: Do a mix of things It is good to include things you already do as well as some new ideas. We suggest you try to do some simple things as well as a couple of areas that may be more challenging. We have some ideas and suggestions of things you can do on this page.
And we'd love to get your suggestions Post them on social media using the hashtag #DoTenThings or email communications@liverpool.anglican.org
3. Set yourself a time limit. We suggest you aim to do your ten things over a period of a year.
4. Review, celebrate and encourage.
