Connectuary's Last Days

Recently during a discussion, someone mentioned to me that a building was constructed in the 80's. I responded, if that is the case the building wasn't really all that old, forgetting it's already 2011. Then I did the math. At best the building is at least 22 years old, or maybe even 31. Time always seems to go so fast. Days go by quickly, weeks fly by, each month seems almost over about the time it starts. Even when the month is 59 days long.

Connectuary is Silver Creeks revision to the traditional calendar. Combining January and February, challenging each of us to look for more ways to Connect with each other, during these first 59 days of the year. There are some great stories of people getting away on short vacations together, groups gathering for dinner, many conversations of coffee and board game nights (my personal favorite).

As we move into March and April we will begin to adjust our focus to reaching out, into our community and inviting people to discover what we've found to be true about Jesus and the help that Silver Creek can be in developing a life based on Jesus. The events we host will be huge, last years Egg Hunt/FUSiON saw over 900 people on campus. The spiritual implications will be enourmous as we celebrate Easter. There will be much effort and energy given by most of us to successfully invite our community.

All of the this effort and energy will leave little time for us to get together just to connect and spend time with one another. It's important that we use these last days of CONNECTUARY to make that happen. Even though I may sound like a furniture sales announcer, these are the final days, don't delay, make it happen today, deals like these won't last forever. Ok, maybe a bit dramatic and the deals thing was a little to much. But really, take advantage of these last days of February and spend some time with others from Silver Creek.

Enjoy the rest of your week and hope to see you Sunday,
