HOST HOME INFORMATION
On Saturday from 5-7pm your small group will eat dinner at the home of a family in the Kansas City area. These families have generously volunteered to open their homes to you and they are excited to meet and get to know each of you!
A few notes:
-
On Friday night, during your small group time, choose a place for your group to meet on Saturday at 4:15pm so that you can leave for your host home. Please arrive on time and ready to go at the meeting place you selected.
-
If you are a small group leader, please attend the Small Group Leader’s Meeting at 8:15am on Saturday in the Water Room for important information and instructions for your host home experience and to receive your host home packet with directions to your host home for the evening.
-
If you have specific dietary needs, your host family is aware of them and is planning accordingly
-
Many of our hosts are planning to do their meal outside (weather permitting), so bring a jacket or sweatshirt if the weather is chilly.
-
Please take a picture at some point during the evening and text it to Sherin Hodge (520-406-1993) and/or tag @centralplainsnavs and #navsengage25 on Instagram.
-
Please make sure to leave your host home at 7pm so that you can be back in time for the Saturday evening session.
-
When you return from your host home, make sure to write and address the thank you card and return it and your host home packet to Noah or Kayla Crowe at the Information Table.
Because these families are expecting you and have put time and energy into preparing a meal for your group, YOU MUST ATTEND. If there is an emergency and you cannot attend, please let your small group leader and Noah Crowe (660-214-4010) or Kayla Crowe (712-223-8142) know as soon as possible.

PRAYER (5 minutes)
Take time to pray for each person—especially for the specific things that they shared. You might have an open prayer time or you could choose to pray for one person at a time (have a few people pray and then move on to the next person). Do what is most comfortable for your group. There’s no rush so take your time and be open to God’s Spirit and the needs of your group.
