Team Time
A time for those from the same faith community to gather together. Those who may have come on their own can gather with others from a similar ministry area who are also attending on their own at Connect and encourage one another. Use the questions in the guide.
Food
Here you’ll find some ideas for morning tea and lunch at Connect. We’ll provide $18 per attendee towards food. You can serve anything you think would be enjoyed by participants. Serve a morning tea and lunch or have 1 break with a generous “mtea” including sweet and savoury items or for those meeting in the evening dinner and dessert.
Giveaways
It’s always fun to receive a gift. We will provide you with 5 giveaways to gift across the day. You get to choose how that works – lucky sticker under the seat, most recently joined the youth team etc.
We will also be providing a copy of Exploring Baptism for each participant.
