Community Outreach: Stretching In & Out

Closing up this year's vision of "Inside & Out: To build a Christ-centered community who intentionally loves inside and outside", this week's community outreach activity is two-fold... read on!

Inward Community
WHEN: Sat July 18th, 10am-12pm
WHERE: Meet at the Barnes & Noble (Arboretum)
On Saturday we will be working together to help the Red Cross promote their Youth Leadership Development Retreat that encourages youth (8th grade through college) to learn, express their creative ideas, and engage one another in a fostering environment. We will be forming teams to post flyers in different Austin neighborhoods; this will be a good opportunity to get to know one another while we serve the community. Breakfast will be provided so please let us know by Friday noon if you are coming!

Outward Community
WHEN: Anytime between now and Fri July 31st
WHERE: You pick!
We're challenging you to deliberately get to know someone outside our Cornerstone (and even ACC) community that you usually don't interact with. We want you to initiate an activity with them where you can get to know them on a level deeper, and maybe even bring up spiritual topics. You can meet up for a 1:1 at a coffee house, talk over yardwork, eat a meal together, or take a stroll off Town Lake (ie, watching a movie/TV doesn't count!).

We ask you to commit by pledging on our second Evite. On July 31st, when we talk about community, we hope you'll share your experiences with us!
