As part of "Know Your Neighbor" month, we encourage you to get to know your Blacknall neighbors. To help with this, we've created "Neighborhood Groups" for those who live locally, using the address we have on file.
Know Your Neighbor Month
This year for “Know Your Neighbor” month, we encourage you to read the book The Art of Neighboring by Jay Pathak and Dave Runyon. Their web site has a COVID-19 Neighboring Toolkit with specific ways to connect safely, and the book includes a six-session study guide.
Sign up here to join Pastor David Dunderdale for the six week study over Zoom. Thursdays, 7:30-8:30 p.m. May 14, 21, 28, and June 4, 11, & 18.
We hope you’ll join us in this neighboring journey by doing the following:
Weeks One-Two
Order the book (Support our Blacknall neighbor The Regulator by ordering locally. Enter the code “DISCOUNT CLUB” for 10% off.)
Get to know your Blacknall neighbors (More information about Neighborhood Groups here).
Pray for your neighbors, and for opportunities to interact with them (using social distancing).
Fill out your Block Map (instructions on pp. 37-39) and spend some time outdoors in your front yard or on walks. Greet neighbors and try to engage them in conversation. Ask them how they’re doing in the midst of this pandemic.
Weeks Three-Four
Try out some of the best practices from the COVID-19 Neighboring Toolkit, perhaps together with some Blacknall neighbors.
Encourage and pray for one another!
Please contact David Dunderdale or Ali Shoenfelt with questions or feedback.
