February came and went like a flash for Cache' Connections. We stretched ourselves to the max by hosting two major events back-to-back. Thanks to all who came out to Parkview Christian Church on 2/13 for Cache' Connections Live! Parkview was a very gracious host to us and we all enjoyed the wisdom and candor of Dr. Paul Meier and the worship led by Brian Hunt. Jean Lachat did a great job on the photography and we are enjoying seeing those photos being uploaded to your accounts.
We took a calculated risk and decided to host an event for Valentine's Day - a tough day for many singles. Our advisers told us it would have to be something fun and light, so we decided to do The Dating Game, which was an idea we had tossed around previously. Talk about a risk! We struggled and searched to get the three panels "just so" (matchwise) only to have some drop out, fly out, and fly back in just in time for the downbeat - literally! God provided wonderful help, however, and the show went off with few hitches and a lot of laughs. Check out the recaps under the News/Events tab. Kim did a fantastic job as "producer" as Linda helped get the volunteers organized and entertained the contestants while we kept them separated during rehearsals.
God continues to open amazing doors for us - with somewhat peculiar timing! In the midst of planning these events, we were writing an article and preparing a power point presentation for a workshop on dating that we were invited to lead at a SAM (single adult ministry) conference in Daytona Beach this past weekend. We had a wonderful experience at the conference and made some great contacts in the national Christian single leaders circles. Check out the blog under Community and Advice for more stories of our little getaway.
We are constantly amazed at how God is bringing our original ideas and plans to fruition. We had hopes of being invited to piggy-back with some churches for their events. Christ Community in St. Charles has graciously invited us to be a part of their "Relationships 101" event on 3/7/09. Following that, we'll be in Arlington Heights and Naperville on 3/8 for Cache' Quick Introductions. These are always a great group of people and a unique opportunity to meet other Christian singles in a more intimate - yet fun - setting.
As Spring approaches we look forward to seeing many of you again and meeting some new friends at The Chapel in Barrington Hills on 4/4 and then it's off to Atlanta, Georgia! Mt. Paran Church of God, a megachurch, has invited us to have a Live! event on 4/24. Dr. Meier will be our guest speaker again as part of a friendly partnership with Meier Clinics. We are continuing to cast our nets out to other states and look forward to entering new markets as the Lord opens doors to Cache' Connections. We'll be Indiana-bound for an event on 5/16 at Liberty Bible Church where Drs. Tom and Bev Rodgers will be our featured speakers.
A special welcome goes out to our new members. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. Here are a few reminders for all:
- Please post your photos! They are not required but very beneficial. Your headshot and bodyshot against a plain wall assures your connections that the photos are recent.
- Feel free to send messages to those connections you are interested - this goes for both genders!
- Let us know if you would like to lead a chat one evening; it's a great way to ensure good attendance in The Meeting Room. Check out scheduled chats under Scheduled Events. Thursdays have been quite popular for the single/never marrieds ... and Monday we look forward to member Jodi welcoming chatters who will be discussing dating after divorce.
- Please remember that all subscriptions will automatically renew. Consider taking advantage of our specials before your next renewal date.
We continue to pray for our members and are thankful for each one of you. In turn, we covet your prayers that Cache' Connections will continue to attract like-minded believers who are committed to meeting and connecting with other believers.
Blessings,
Kim and Linda
Cache' Connections
