MONTHLY OPEN HOUSE

We used to have people in our home all the time, but, for some unknown reason, that's changed over the last several years. We recently decided to make hospitality a priority again and be deliberate about inviting people over. One of the ways we're going to do that is to have a monthly open house, an evening where people can drop in for twenty minutes or stick around for several hours, sit around and shoot the breeze or join others for a board or card game, visit with folks they know or get to know some new people.

The evening will not be limited to any particular circle of our life, so you can come if  you're young or old, single or with a family and/or spouse, know us from public school, homeschool groups, church, work, around town, etc., or don't know as at all and are coming with someone who does.

The Type A part of me would love to have the open house always be at the same time - first weekend, third weekend, or whatever. However, we need it to be on a night we're free and have nothing going on early the next morning, which means it will vary from month to month. The plan is to always have it on Friday nights, but the week will change according to our schedule. 

I will always post it as an event on Facebook, but if you're interested in knowing when each open house will be and aren't on FB, then let me know and I'll shoot you an e-mail with details. 

I'm really looking forward to this time to hang out with people, whether a few at a time or in a packed house!

This is such a grand idea! I would love to come over. But I also need to consider if this is something we could do. I hope you post on how it goes.
