"Intensive firesides" in Phoenix

Here is a very brief report from Phoenix, AZ (A) where the friends are exploring a new approach: “Intensive firesides”.

For the first time, the friends are trying “intensive firesides”. This means that the believers have committed to hold 20 small-scale firesides over the 14-day period of the intensive teaching effort, with at least one fireside during each of the 14 evenings. This approach has the potential of engaging believers in the cluster in addition to those already involved in the neighborhood teaching. So we are watching this development closely to learn about its effectiveness.
