ReFocus Team Update
ReFocus
Thank you for your continued prayers for the Orange Friends Church ReFocus Team! On January 15th, 16th, and 17th, the ReFocus Team participated in ReFocus University, which was led by Lonnie Bullock of New Church Specialties (NCS). This intensive, 3-day retreat provided the team with an overview of the refocus process. Even though the information was a lot to take in, it was an encouraging and enlightening weekend for the team. Two of the biggest take-away points from the weekend were that revival starts with us, as individuals, and prayer is vital for our personal transformation as well as for our transformation as a church. With that in mind, each ReFocus Team member has selected a personal prayer team consisting of 3 to 4 people who will pray specifically for them and for Orange Friends Church during the two-year refocus process. Each team member has also chosen at least one spiritual discipline to practice over the duration of the refocus process. The team is also happy to announce that Roger and Judy Sorensen have agreed to serve as Prayer Directors during the refocus process so that the entire church can be more actively engaged in prayer as we seek the heart of Jesus for Orange Friends Church. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the ReFocus Team (Caren Adams, Nikki Boyer, Beth Comer, Jim Comer, Doyle Hartman, Theresa Mabry, Pastor David Mabry, Julie Pickering, Rick Ross, Jeanie Sampson, Dave Schar, Liz Schar) directly or by email at ReFocus@OrangeFriendsChurch.org.
