"The way you learn to lead is to lead"

Why Volunteer? 

• Looking for connection, friends, and community with other people
• Opportunities to live a life that is others centred 

Moving Forward with Volunteers 

• There is a need for discipleship
• Look at how people will develop relationships as they serve
• Ask how do we make this a real connection experience or how do we make it so that they have a deeper connections?

Before Your Volunteers Jump Back In Serving

• We have to learn how to be friends again
• Add a step before they come back to remind them that they like each other
• Hold a social event to create comfort and have fun and connect with people
• After they are comfortable, go through new protocols and what they need to know for returning
• build community again

Church Online

• Think of it now as another campus not an add on
• Opportunity to take lessons we've learned from online and apply to in person
• Ask what did we learn this past year to engage with people better

 To Those That Have Been Serving

• Thank you to those that worked to stay connected and tried serving in new ways to keep things going
