NEED IDEAS?

 

Grab lunch with someone. We all have to eat. Why not make it a habit to share lunch with someone who doesn't know God? Go to lunch with a coworker. Invite the neighbors over for dinner. Sit with new kids at school lunch. Avoid hanging out with just Christians.

 

Be a regular. Instead of going to different gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants, go to the same places at the same time. Support a locally-owned business. Get to know the staff. Be a regular. Build relationships. Local businesses are a great place to do this.

 

Hobby. Got a hobby? Paintball, hunting, skateboarding, scrapbooking, quilting, sports?  Whatever your hobby might be, get out and do it with others! Invite them to join you in your hobby. Build community beyond the four walls of the church.

 

Talk to your coworkers. Be intentional about your conversations at work. Pick a group of coworkers and pray for them. Start a mom's group in your neighborhood, and don't make it exclusively Christian. Grab some friends and go to McDonald's after school once a week. Build relationships with people you live, work, and play with every day!

 

Volunteer. Find a local non-profit in your community and serve once a month. Invite your neighbors, friends, or co-workers to join you as you volunteer. Don't go alone; remember to bring others along!

 

Participate in the community. Get involved in your community. Attend fundraisers, festivals, clean-ups, summer shows and concerts. Get out of the house and meet new people. Strike up conversations. Study your culture. Pray for your community.

 

Be a front porch neighbor. Help a neighbor with raking leaves, weeding, or mowing. Stop by the apartment office and ask how you can help spruce up the place. Move the chairs from the backyard to the front yard. Walk around your neighborhood - it's good for your health, and you might meet new friends along the way!
