Connect with People – Get to Know Your Neighbors

Where do you live? Are there people who live around you? Chances are, you have neighbors. However, if you are like most people in the U.S., today, you don’t know many, if any of them.

It’s a change we’ve seen in the last 50 years of our society. With air conditioning, TV, electronic devices, and bigger homes we’ve become more and more isolated from our neighbors.

What if we affected another change? What if over the next several years we in the church seek to have those relationships with our neighbors again?

Today: Start thinking of ways to connect with your neighbors. Maybe even go meet a few, today.

Some ideas of how:

• Host a Friday night happy hour in your driveway with free drinks and snacks.
• Ask your neighbors to get together for a block party.
• Knock on your neighbors’ doors and introduce yourself. Maybe bring some cookies.
• Sit by a window or outside and when you see a neighbor walking by, go out and talk to them.
