Making Connections, POINT 2012
One activity at the 2012 POINT gathering in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was breaking into conversation groups to discuss best practice for making connection with congregations for the purpose of curriculum interpretation. Ideas were shared and recorded for these four conversation starters:
- Share one way that you interpret curriculum for congregations in your area.
- Exchange an idea about how to reach out to churches.
- List one tip you would pass along to a new volunteer.
- Discuss how a regional representative could support your curriculum interpretation ministry through POINT.
Download the ideas shared during this brainstorming session. Think about how you would respond and send your ideas to post on the POINT Facebook Group.
