There have been so many new faces lately and it's so hard building quality conversations with everyone a half hour before or after Sunday service. Many of you have shared your desire to know everyone in church, so we just started creating opportunites for everyone to get to know each other!
The first way we are kicking off this ministry is planning "Connect Events", which are organized fun activities that happen every so often where the main goal is getting to know everyone.
The first connection event was chili night! We had 7 bring in their favorite chilis that were automatically entered in a contest! We had little sample cups that you could try everyone's chili and vote on your favorite. THe votes were counted and Amy's chili won! It was an extremely close competition though! I didn't taste a chili I didn't like LOL
The evening also entailed some more fun! Each table was a "table team" and every team had a sheet of paper with questions and a challenge that each table had to complete as a group. Everyone shared with the whole group, which brought us together to share stories and laugh.
We will be trying out different activities for a variety of fun ways to continue to form deep connection as a church. Some ideas include bowling, talent night, packaging for feed the hungry, Fiesta night, dinner, Bible Trivia, Pickleball day at he gym, craft workshop, coffee & Convo event, disc golf outing, beach day, hike, and more!
This is such an exciting time of growth at anchor church so we highly encourage everyone to come on out to the events!
If you have any questions or ideas about the connection ministry, Let Krystal know!
