We're having our first summer lunchtime cookout today! Hot dogs, baked beans (yum), and all the rest. All the staff gathers under the trees with their lawn chairs and we grill out and enjoy a great lunch together. Should be about 60 people there. Always a great time with mingling and connecting between people that don't normally hang out together. It helps tear down silos. The health of our staff is one of our highest values and I thank God every day that I get to work with a bunch of people who value relationships like we do at Fairhaven. Some transitions are coming this summer that will be stressful, but the work we do in events like a lunch cookout help us to weather the bumps in the road. What are you doing to deepen staff relationships and build the relational integrity that creates longevity, job satisfaction and more effective ministries? Get out of your office and do something fun together!!
