Top 10 Ideas for Connectedness This Summer
By Paul | May 22, 2008
1. Make your plans now before you get into the heat of summer. Pull out a calendar and compare vacation plans.
2. Consider scaling back on your meetings.
3. Talk about putting several groups together for a picnic so that your group is not an island. It’s also a great opportunity to invite neighbors and friends to your group. Contact Dave Hilliard or Paul Casey for a list of leaders to email.
4. Plan a block party and ask your group to help you put it on.
5. Plan a movie night and take the whole family. Or do the movie night at a home. Pop popcorn, serve pop and movie candy. Or do a multiplex theater and have kids movie separate from grown-ups movie.
6. Have a game night. Scattergories, Cranium, or Pictionary can be a great way to get to know your group. Or try Bunco or Mexican Dominoes.
7. Give some thought to connecting to serve someone else, whether it’s an organization, family, single-parent, or just someone who needs help with yard work.
8. Serve together in Children’s Ministry. Contact Teri Pearson to plug in for a couple weeks of summer relief for the regular shepherds.
9. Sit together at Sunday’s service, even if you have to coordinate going to a different one than normal. Try the Wired venue. Consider being one of the core groups that will go to the West Pasco satellite campus on Sundays at the end of summer. Then go out for lunch after the service.
10. Have a monthly party and invite your friends to join your group for dinner and a fun activity. Or bring them along to the 3 summer connection events at Bethel: July 4 Picnic/baptisms; July 23 Evening of Magic; August 13 Evening at Camp.
