Idea:
Getting to Know You
back
A simple exercise to heighten your
awareness of God's creating work in the world:
Look through the page on
which you are pictured in your congregation’s pictorial directory. For
each person pictured, see if you can name his or her occupation, school,
community volunteer activities or other “outside the congregation”
interests. Choose a few of the people for whom you don’t have an answer,
look for them next week, and discover an answer for each of them.
Option:
Note who is sitting
directly in front of you one and two rows up. (If you’re in the first
row, start at the back row. You’ll need to turn around, but everyone
will know why, and if you don’t, the people in the back won’t be
included!) Can you name his or her occupation, school, community
volunteer activities, or other “outside the congregation” interests? If
so, chat with that person soon to see what’s new in his or her life or
interests. If not, make a point to talk with them after worship today or
at another time in the coming week or two. By the way, if the person you
identify is an infant, talk to the parents about their child.
