Our lives are complicated and busy.  Still, we want to keep moving toward Christ.  Our goal for the next year is to help each other live lives that are healthier, happier, and full of purpose.  Here are five actions on which you can focus to start making that happen.
	Invest and Invite Reach out.  Build relationships with those who are unchurched.  Have a dinner party.  Do something fun.  Find common ground and cultivate it before you extend the invitation.  Get to know people out of love and then invite them to church.
	Read Your Bible Grow your personal relationship with God by reading God’s love letter to you.  Set aside time each day to keep your conversation with Jesus growing.  Learn the heart of God and nurture it in your life.
	Join a Group Cultivate friendships that define “meaningful.”  Develop a relationship with people who will encourage you to become the person God means for you to be and those who expect you to do the same for them.
	Do the Next Right Thing Life is full of decisions.  Making the right ones shows you are getting closer to God’s heart.  It will not always be easy.  Pray that God will give you the wisdom to know what’s right, the courage to do what’s right, even when its hard.
	Serve God by Serving Others Help someone.  It’s that simple.  Serve at the homeless shelter, help in the nursery, sit with someone that needs a friend — you choose.  Make serving others a habit; you will be surprised by the good it will do for you.
