I shared this past Sunday that we are planning to have several events this summer - one a month - that will be "bridge" events. These are opportunities to invite people to come and gather with us for fun and food. We are looking to have them on Saturday afternoons and include games and food. The hope is that those who will not come with you to a church gathering - will come with you to a cookout and to have fun. 
Please review the following dates and share your thoughts. I've included a list of games below the dates — and If you have ideas for games or for food - or any ideas to make these events fun for local families, PLEASE SHARE THEM. We will advertise with social media and we are hoping to get a team from Lancaster to come up and help us with at least one of the events.
