1. Create multi-generational groups to explore the assignment together over four weeks.

2. Within the groups, brainstorm how you might engage in your own “Samarital Acts” or explore the gospel in your community in ways that are 

  • risky 
  • audacious 
  • countercultural 

3. Take action in your community over the following four weeks.  

4. Share your stories each week 

  • Report back and discuss within your groups:  
    • what are you enacting?  
    • how did you decide what to do?  
    • what was your experience? 
  • Share highlights (and lowlights) in your worship service  

5. Write down the groups’ decisions, actions and reflections on a common wall or board. Create a map of your activities.
