Got Stories? Well we're looking for stories for next week’s service! Our November theme is Fight Club and we’re talking about petty arguments, serious disagreements, and, ideally, fisticuffs. If you think you’ve got a 3-5 minute story along those lines, shoot an email to info@gileadchicago.org to let us know if you’d be interested in telling a story!
One-on-Ones: Have them with us! One-on-one’s are how we started this church, asking people in coffee shops and at storytelling shows if they’d be game to talk for 45 min or an hour. We had a ridiculous goal. Like, Rebecca was gonna have 800 one-on-ones in 6 months. (She probably hasn’t had that many in her life — or maybe she’s approaching it now, 8 years later.) We’re a much different church than we were 8 years ago, and our goals now more than just a coupla young, bright-eyed pastors meeting strangers, is to get to know each other. We wanna build community, deepen the relationships we have, and find new connections.
