How to Start Meaningful Conversations Without it Feeling Weird
- Build Trust Over Time - your first conversation may not be deep, but as you show you genuinely care, it will get there
- Drop "God Moments" into Conversations - share something you heard at church or how God answered a prayer. Recommend a podcast/book/experience that had an impact on your life or comment on the beauty of creation or God's goodness in a situation.
- Ask Meaningful Questions - while genuinely accepting them, ask questions such as:
  - What is near the top of your bucket list?
  - Who has had the most influence in your life?
  - How are you feeling about... [something that is happening]?
  - What are you finding to be the most helpful during this challenging time?

Vacation Bible School - As we approach summer, we are looking for volunteers to help with Vacation Bible School in many capacities. If you can help, please contact Samantha Mason at 765-661-9683. See the flyer below
