Spiritual Practice Suggestions from Rev. Kristin L. White
Prayer & Community
Whether we live in the heart of a city, a suburban neighborhood, or the rural countryside, we all live in a community. Our lives intertwine with other people and organizations. The following suggestions are ways to be spiritually connected with our communities, every day and anywhere.
Prayer Walks
Walk through your neighborhood or community with an open, prayerful heart. What celebrations and needs do you see? Who are the people you encounter? Pray for those you pass.
Community Prayer Maps
Get a map of your community. Every day, choose a place on the map - a street, a neighborhood, a home, a business, or a public place - and spend time praying for the people and activities in that location.
Community Meetings
Whenever your community has a town hall or city council meeting, devote time beforehand to pray for the meeting, for wisdom and compassion for all involved, and for the well-being of the community to be the result.
Community Service - Part I
What community service programs are in your town? Make a list and each week, choose one to be the focus of your prayers.
Community Service - Part II
Contact one of the community service programs in your town. Ask for ways you could help - collecting food for the food pantry, supplies for the shelter, etc. - and Put your prayers into action.
Disciple and Transformation
Discipleship
To learn and grow in the way of love, to be forgiven and in relationship with God, and to practice the way of love and forgiveness daily.
Transformation
When living in love, forgiveness and relationship with God completely changes the world.
Discipleship + Transformation
Green Street offers multiple doorways to experience, learn, and live God's love, so that together we can transform the world.
Transforming Ministries
Justice for Our Neighbors
Justice For Our Neighbors (JFON), a United Methodist immigration ministry, supports over 50 clinics nationwide where staff attorneys provide advice and counsel to refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants. JFON advocates for immigration reform that reflects our shared values of fairness and equality.
Green Street is raising money to support JFON’s ministries. A 2 liter bottle holds about $500 worth of dimes. How many times can we fill the bottle in the upcoming year? Bring your dimes on Sunday morning, or stop by during the week to help fill the bottle.

Welcome Table
The Welcome Table educates people about special food needs, provides opportunities for all people to eat together around shared meals, and models ways that food sensitivities can be cared for in our church spaces. The team provides allergy-free and vegan meal options for church programs. Welcome Table members also developed a gluten free bread, free of the top 8 allergens, that is now used for communion. Green Street is a peanut-free facility.
Visitation Team
For caring, connected people who want to brighten someone's day and deepen friendships, the Visitation Team goes out in twos and threes to visit shut-ins and those in need of companionship. The team meets monthly for reflection, planning and training. If this is a way of sharing God's love that speaks to you, click here to learn more!
Garden Giveaway
Perhaps you enjoy gardening, or you love working outdoors. Maybe you are excited to meet new people. Or you want to make a difference in a local neighborhood. The Garden Giveaway team coordinates local gardeners with community teams to ensure that those in need of fresh produce have access to it.
Knitted Together In Love
Green Street Prayer Squares and Prayer Shawls have been shared with visitors, sent to friends in the hospital, given out in airports, and offered to those looking for a piece of hope to hold onto. Prayer Squares and Shawls are knitted by the Prayer Shawl Ministry Team, who pray for the persons who will ultimately receive them. Squares are knitted in a rainbow of colors and each one has a cross in the middle. If you would like to receive one, or know someone who would, contact the church!
Music Ministries
