THE WEEKEND
God has wired us to live in community, not to be islands unto ourselves. Pastor Mark Connelly addressed just that and shared his personal experience from his marriage and his hope for his adult children. Watch or listen for more.
THE EVENTS
At MISSION, we kicked off September/October igniter with Dinner for Eight. One couple hosted a dinner at their home or coordinated a dinner out with three other couples. It was a one time committment, no strings attached. They had the Firelight on hand to prompt conversation and record contact information. MISSION also offered discounts codes and coupons to local area restaurants.
THE RESULTS
Amazing. MISSION had 289 couples sign up for a Dinner for Eight. Over 71 groups of eight met for dinner together and got in community.
THE STORIES
"Just wanted you to know that our dinner for eight was fantastic! Everyone had a great time, we all got to know one another till about 11p. Very nice. We are seriously thinking about doing this again in September! We'll let you know" Mark H.
"Dinner for 8 was awesome! Admittedly, we were skeptical to host at first, but once the night started that went to the wind. Jacqui and I had a great time hosting, eating Mexican food, having great conversations, and playing games with our three, new found couples. We are both very thankful for having the opportunity to meet these couples from MISSION, and praise God for having the church put this together. Let's do it again, I want to meet more fellow Christians at MISSION." Brent S.
