Open Door Summer Connect

What is "Summer Connect" and what do I do?

STEP 1: 
Our class, Open Door is charged to visit other classes and worship throughout the Summer and experience approaches and ideas of other teachers.  We should identify ourselves as members of OpenDoor but articulate a desire to better connect with our larger church body building relationships and our perspective of the church as a life community. In this attendance, we should also be attending worship and reflecting closely on worship and how it affects us. Take notes.. as you will need them.

STEP 2: 
We will meet together "out of band" at 5 separate events to eat together and then actively discuss moments and memories from our experiences in worship and other classes.  We will focus on the week prior to the actual scheduled connect event, but all prior weeks are "fair game".

NOTE: these special connect events are open to all HRBC members and will feature guest speakers and facilitators including Bill Moore, Matthew Hensley, and Jeff Prillaman just to start... We may even get other members of the staff to attend and speak. Children will be welcome and invited..

The first of these events will be held on 6/22 at the home of Jeff and Tracee Prillaman.  
Cookout & Fellowship 6pm - 7pm
Discussion 7pm - 8:30pm


Other Dates and Locations TBD but will be schedule about every 2-3 weeks through the Summer to include a Sunday afternoon at the pool,  maybe bowling... maybe shopping... and several others' homes. Interested in hosting...Call Jeff! or have another idea... Call Jeff! just want to talk.. Call Jeff!


STEP 3:  
We will reconvene Open Door.. in the coolest classroom, coolest class in the church, in the  upper corner room.. on Sunday, September 9...  connected.. passionate, and READY to GO forward with our lives as mission.
