Building friendships in and outside of our church gives us a unique opportunity to serve one another. Sometimes we can take friendships for granted or forget to take time to cultivate our relationships. So, today is going to be all about friends.

Get out that old “friends forever” necklace and love on some of your favorite people today. We’d love to see some pictures of you and some of your best friends and reasons why they’ve been so influential in your life.

Here are some other ideas for ways to serve your friends:

• Send a card.
• Call a friend you haven’t talked to in a while.
• Drop off some flowers on your friend’s door step.
• Ask if you can cook dinner for a friend.
• Schedule a time to meet for coffee.
• Text a friend and ask how their day is going.
• Post a note to social media and tell your friend why you appreciate them.      

We look forward to hearing all about how you’ve decided to better serve your friends. Remember to use hashtag #Ridge5Challenge to tell us about your week.

And, get ready for Day 4 of our FIVE Celebration. It’s one of the serving areas that’s often overlooked.
