For several Mondays this fall, I'm posting some practical ideas o help answer the question "what does 'living on mission' look like every day?" These are just example ideas to hep you live with "gospel intentionality"; consider how you could tweak each to fit your life. As you do, I'd love your input, ideas, and creativity as well. If you have ideas for the list, email me or comment below, and I'll get them up here in the coming weeks*. Here's this week's list:
- Take classes: adult ed classes, cooking classes, fitness classes, or whatever other classes are offered in your community.
- Coach a little league team – and as you do, get to know parents, other coaches, etc.
- Volunteer at your kid’s school – and as you do, get to know parents, teachers, etc.
- Teach lessons: if you’re good at something, share that skill, and build relationships as you go.
- Throw a July 4th party for your neighborhood.
- Throw a Labor Day or Memorial Day party for your neighborhood.
- Throw any other holiday party for your neighborhood - even Boxing Day.
- Do the same for your office or your co-workers.
- Brew green beer and have folks over on St. Patrick’s Day.
- If you’re really bold, explain the true meaning of St. Patrick’s Day as you all enjoy green beer together. [Do you know the real reason for the day so many folks get plastered?!]
[*Note: Some of these suggestions are original; some have been collected from others. In gratitude to them, and as an encouragement to you, I freely pass them along to copy, read, repost or otherwise use liberally. However, one reason for compiling this list is for an upcoming booklet/workbook, so I ask that you link back to this site if making any of it public, by including: "Ben Connelly, www.oneglory.org." Thanks!]
