Caring for People in your Small Group
In our groups we want to love each other like God loves us and there’ll be times people need specific help or care. These moments give great opportunities for your group to show practical love for each other. However, if a situation arises where your group is not able to sufficiently care for someone, get in touch with the care team at www.saltchurch.info/care. They’d love to help come up with a solution.
