MeetUps!

You can lead a MeetUp.  What do you enjoy doing? Do you think others might enjoy it too? These can be weekly, monthly, or occasional. They can be one time parties and outings.

Everyone in our church is strongly encouraged to be a part of at least one MeetUp group.  We need a group like these get to know people, care for one another, and a place to invite friends who do not have a church.

These types of gatherings are essential to our disciple-making process in our church.  These are ways we invite new people, have conversations, and find out ministry opportunities in the lives of our church members and friends.

Some MeetUp groups already meet weekly: Sunday School groups at 9:15 AM.  Groups for all ages.

Some monthly Meetups that are already on-going are our Wisdom Circle (1st Wed. of a month at Noon and lots of trips), Girlfriends in God (third Tuesday of a month at 6:30 PM with parties and other events).

Some are occasional and seasonal: We have several MeetUps with will be starting back on January 22 on Sunday Nights at 6 PM. There will be MeetUps for kids, students, and adults.

MeetUps can be anywhere, anytime.  These are not limited to Sundays or our church facilities.

Some examples of MeetUps you or someone could start:
·         Preschool playdates
·         Recipe swap
·         Crochet and coffee
·         Book club
·         Running group
·         Dinner group (eating out or taking turns hosting in your home)
·         Golf MeetUps
·         Walking Group
·         Health and Wellness Support
·         Recovery Support Group


The possibilities go on and on.  Invite friends, make friends, be a friend.
