[4] Glorify God through worship and prayer: to participate in worship as a corporate expression of our passion for the supremacy of God in all things to the joy of all peoples; and to seek that God’s will be done, through prayer. (Jn 4:24; Rev 4:8-11; Eph 2:21; Mk 11:17) 

[5] Love one another through community fellowship: to love and care for one another as the family of God by encouraging, supporting and praying for each other. (Ac 2:44-47; Heb 10:23-25; Jn 13:34-35; Eph 3:15)
