What Can You do?

3. Help your church know about CDP, its services to your and other churches, the ways your church benefits from the infrastructure of CDP

2. Encourage participation in the community-building events CDP sponsors

Do they correlate? Does your church need to increase its support?

4. Make prayer for the district one of the concerns regularly appearing on your Prayer List:

1. Have your official board review : How your church is served by CDP How your church supports CDP

Things the churches are trying to do together Churches that are struggling or facing pastoral change or other stress Churches seeking to reach and serve the people around them

Do you participate?
