Here's the update for this week. Enjoy this great weather!
HIGHLIGHTS:
-All Team Meeting
Expect to be welcoming some new volunteers from our VolunTOUR event at our next All Team meeting this Tuesday, September 8.
-Tech Team Training
After the All Team Meeting this Tuesday, everyone is welcome to stick around for some training at our various tech stations. This week we'll be focusing especially in the video area. It's a great chance for our new volunteers to get some experience, and a great chance for you to be cross-trained in another area of service.
-New Volunteer Integration
In an effort to connect our new volunteers to a spot of service on the weekends, we're contacting some of you and tasking you with the responsibility to invite them to shadow you on the weekend. While we've already made first points of contact with each of them, we're relying on YOU to be the hands and the feet of Programming and Production ministry, and to be a welcoming and affirming presence as they take their first steps towards serving with us and joining our community.
-Yet Another Retreat
First of all: wasn't our retreat awesome? 32 people! Wonderful setting! Great time with God and each other! Ok. So, we thought to ourselves: what better way to keep some of the momentum going, connect some of our new volunteers, and get a holiday party in before it gets crazy than to hold a retreat in November? (By the way, can you believe I just used the word "holidays?)
So, mark your calendars for Friday evening, November 13 and Saturday morning, November 14. We're going to stay right here in Cedar Falls and spend some time at the Hartman Reserve Nature Center. Pretty setting, very cheap, no need for overnight accomodations... but a spot and a space for us to be all together, get connected, welcome new faces, and celebrate the holidays before they get crazy. Love for you to join us then. More info will be provided as the day approaches.
