This past Thursday, we tried something brand new at H2O. And it worked! Just before our Worship Gatherings 'officially' start, we have a 3 minute countdown that plays on our screen. Normally, we take those 3 minutes to get to know someone in attendance that we 'normally' don't hang out with. That, in and of itself is amazing...it truly creates community! However, this past week, I really felt like we needed to do something really creative!
Here's what we did....
In those 3 minutes, I asked all of our students who have texting on their phones, (duh, that's an overwhelming majority!) to text their friends or family members and encourage them in some way. Whether it's a 'hope ur havin a good day' or 'i'm prayin for u' or 'just thinkin about u' to literally whatever they could come up with to encourage others. The only clause to this project, was that you couldn't text anyone who was in attendance at H2O. Sounds simple...
In three minutes, we successfully encouraged 83 people, simply by text.
Yep, we're gonna do it again.....
