We help churches respond to the most pressing needs in their community by providing a menu of best-practice Cinnamon Recognised Projects that can easily be replicated. Alongside the projects we offer advice, funding, support and leadership training. We recognise that we all achieve more when we work in partnership and so, through initiatives like our Civic Prayer Events and Faith Action Audits, we help churches build strong civic partnerships and demonstrate the great work they are doing within their communities.  https://www.cinnamonnetwork.co.uk/

With help from our Advisors, local church activists can select Cinnamon Recognised Projects, apply for Cinnamon Micro-Grants, while attending our Cinnamon Leadership Training, in order to make a sustainable impact on their community.

The Cinnamon Project Incubator takes innovative, new social action projects and helps them grow to a point where they can be replicated many times over.

Cinnamon Research feeds into the project incubation process. Local communities can also get together for a Civic Prayer Breakfast, which creates an unprecedented opportunity for church leaders to work in partnership with other civic leaders to bring about lasting change in their local area.

Solves root cause for why 93% of Americas churches are not growing https://www.meettheneed.org/#main-solution

The modern American church model doesn’t align with the most fundamental principle of successful organizations – nor Biblical mandates. There is a flawed assumption underlying nearly every decision churches make today and it’s the root cause for the Church’s decline – in growth, impact and perception.

Love Our Cities began out of the success of Love Modesto. Love Modesto started in 2007 at Big Valley Grace Community Church with two questions:

1) Why is our city on lists of the “worst cities in America”?
2) If our churches were to suddenly disappear from the Modesto area, would anyone even care or notice?

We did not know the answers to these questions, but we knew we were called to love Modesto as Jesus would.

With a lot of dreaming and planning came our first Love Modesto on March 7, 2009. We were hoping for 100 people and more than 1,200 people showed up to love our city in practical ways. We’ve done this 13 more times since then and have helped more than 60 cities. Over 136,000 people have been involved … young, old, abled, disabled; people from a church or no church at all. Around 476,000 volunteer hours have been donated – this is over $13.8 million dollars in service (independentsector.org) that we’ve given to our communities!

Resources to have 10 days of prayer at your church https://www.tendaysofprayer.org/

We encourage you and your church to ask God in prayer how you can reach out to others after the Ten Days of Prayer. Choose one or several activities, choose a day, and be the hands and feet of Jesus. As you work to organize everything, avoid letting these arrangements distract you from praying. “Personal effort for others should be preceded by much secret prayer; for it requires great wisdom to understand the science of saving souls. Before communicating with men, commune with Christ. At the throne of heavenly grace obtain a preparation for ministering to the people” (Prayer, p. 313)

We have prepared a list of ways you can help others. Choose whatever fits the needs of the people you are going to serve. Feel free to do something that it is not listed.
