CONNECTION EVENTS

Relationships have many degrees and stages. Paul uses the illustration of a body in 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12 to describe relationships in the church. Every part is necessary. Each part needs and is needed by the others. This deep level of symbiosis and synergy does not happen by accident or by simply being in the same room on occasion. Connection Events are a step towards what Paul is talking about.

A Connection Event is an event for people to enjoy time with others and enjoy something that is happening in and/or around our great state!

Some examples include:

• Ride bikes together
• Play disc golf
• Go for a walk
• Eat tacos
• Have a bonfire
• Host a game night
• Go to a concert
• Play volleyball
• Play pickleball
• Have dinner with friends
• Hold an after-church brunch
• Have a movie night
• Bring dogs to a dog park
• Take other humans with you to a human park

Connection Events are designed to facilitate the growth of deeper relationships. That comes through time together doing different things. Plan something together and do it!

• *Submit Connection Event details on the Corner Church website to be posted.
• *Rich will reach out if there are any questions about the event.

• Clear communication. Having all the details communicated from the beginning helps people know what they are getting involved in and helps people stay involved for the duration.
• Cross-community. Having Corner Church people from each community involved is ideal. We are better together.
• Inclusion. Having people involved who do not attend Corner Church is the best! New connection and relationship is the heart of God.
• Frequent invitation. Reminding people who are involved about what is happening with emails and text messages not only helps but is paramount to the success of an event.
