Relationships 101: Put Into Practice

Don't forget to sign up for Dinners 6 Plus 2 on Sunday...

Ok, here’s the idea. To help us be intentional about relationships with others, we want to put a schedule together for what’s called Dinners 6+2. Here’s how it works: If you sign up to be part of Dinners 6 + 2, you will receive a calendar once a month with your name as the “Host”, “Baker” or “Gardener”. The “Hosts” are responsible to host the dinner 1 time during the month, arrange with the “Bakers” and “Gardeners” the date and time of the dinner, provide the main dish, and invite the +2. The +2 could be neighbors, co-workers, friends, people from other churches, or people from PCEFC that are not part of Dinners 6 + 2. The “Bakers” are responsible to bring the bread and dessert, and the “Gardeners” bring a salad or fruit. You may be the host one month with one set of “Gardeners” and “Bakers” and the next month you may be the “Baker” with different “Host” and “Gardener.”

Remember the point of this is to build relationships with others not just fill the 6 + 2 quota (numbers really don’t matter). You may want to invite younger singles, or elderly singles to be the +2. Also, if you are single, you can still sign up to be on the rotation of Dinners 6 + 2. The hosts, gardeners, and bakers together can decide if it is adults only or a whole family event. You may sign up in the foyer this week and next to be on the schedule for Dinners 6 + 2 or call Nate and Lisa Johnson at 629.1106. The first schedule will be put in your church mailbox for April.
