Purpose statement
At Link, we value relationships! And group social activities are a great context for those to form, and a non-threatening way for our international friends to join us.
Summary of goals
Coordinate with ministry leaders to provide a social event that is safe (e.g. may need to be outside for COVID) and facilitates relationships. Allowing our international friends to get a taste of local culture or experiences is also a plus. Can be for one event only or on a regular basis.
We try to do social events that:
- have a low barrier to entry (e.g. free if possible)
- will work for any level of English (e.g. a book club for an 18th century British book might not work so well); walks or a simple games are great (e.g. table tennis, yard games)
- are easy to find and focus on each other (we’ve tried “using” events other organizations are already putting on and have usually had poor turnout)
- allow for conversation (e.g. not a loud atmosphere)
- are family friendly if possible (we know lost of internationals with kids), but this is not a requirement
- are not necessarily spiritually focused (we do that in other ways)
