COMMUNITY AT PRAYER 
A number of our congregations have prayer boxes established near their churches to collect prayers from the community. Here's another idea and this one can involve the wider community's particular concerns. 

Neighbourhood chalkboards are also used to solicit answers to great questions. For example, 'If you could ask God one question, what would it be?' or 'Where do you find peace in your life?' or 'What is one thing about our community that we should celebrate?'  Community chalkboards are a space for dialogue.
