Cluster Reflection Meeting in Springdale

Cluster Reflection Meeting - Springdale, AR, November 15

There were about 45 friends present, a good turnout . And the room was charged with energy and a warm spirit. Auxiliary Board Member, Dan Reimer, and his wife, Jennifer, were there and as usual gave us good guidance. We talked about our core activities, where we are and our goal, we read and discussed the letter from the NSA on C-level clusters (our cluster is a C and the goal is to make it a B by Ridvan). Then we focused on devotional meetings, what it takes to open your own, how simple but beautiful and profound it can be, etc. Shelly and Terry Pittman coordinated the event and brought in some beautiful ideas from their experiences in Houston and Mexico. For example, below are a couple of boards. After the discussion on each core activity, you could commit to either one and then go stick your commitment on the board. The friends loved it! It was a good meeting. Dan and Jennifer said they'll see us next at the regional conference in Dallas on 13 and 14 December.
