Newcomers BBQ

Held our first Newcomers BBQ tonight and it went great. I got this idea from Greg Rohlinger and it was a great idea.

We had close to 60 people there and kids coming out of our ears! The only rule was no church talk. It was so great to get to met some people who I only see on Sundays. It was also huge getting them connected with other people in the church.

Church planters, add this one to your list. Even if it is only two or three families, invite them over to your house and do it.

I have learned that it is very rare that when someone in our church connects with either me or one the staff that they end up not plugging in.
The cookout was HUGE for buy-in.
