LinC Program
This program called LinC or Love in Community, will honor that atmosphere of love and help us stay connected and network as a community.
Members and attendees will be divided into small groups of 2-3 family units, with one person as a Care Partner. Each small group is a “link in the chain” that forms our whole community. The Care Partner’s primary responsibility is to contact each family in the group at least once per month in whatever way works best for them – making contact at church, by phone or email, or seeing them other times in the community. The intention is for groups to be made up of people that don’t already know each other so that we all connect with new people.
For more information contact Garrett Whitney at 817.989.0000 or gwhitney@charter.net or the church office at 817.423.2965.
