The document provides guidance for life groups on accepting each other. It encourages group members who are strong to bear with those who are weak, and to please their neighbors for their good and to build them up. It quotes Romans 15:1-2 and 15:5-7, which instruct believers to accept one another just as Christ accepted them, so that with one mind and one voice they may glorify God. It also suggests some potential locations for life groups to meet, such as homes, parks, coffee shops or malls.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the

praise to God.
