F.O.R.M.

Good Morning Friends...

One of our small "groupies" reminded me of my Form formula.  It is a great "tool" to have - so I'm reminding each of us how it works...

When in a situation that  requires meeting or greeting new people (such as a small group) use FORM....

Ask questions based on...

F    how's your family?
O    what do you do for occupation (work)?
R    what do you do for recreation (fun)?
M    always leave a word of ministry

The Bible says...

"Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone."  Colossians 4:5-6 NRSV

"Some friends play at friendship, but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin."  Proverbs 18:24 NRSV

See You Tonight
