Let's Get Together!
Let's Get Together!: Flexible Fun-Filled Activity Ideas for the Whole Church Family. Sue Langwade | Sue Langwade
7 posts | 1 to read
This title features programmes including Bible-based storytelling, easy-to-perform drama, punchy puppetry, instant crafts, all-age games, original songs and MP3 downloads (available to purchase), times for quiet spaces and times of reflective prayer, and inclusive easy-to-do take-home ideas. It uses the motif of a tree to explore the theme of what it means to be family in terms of both our human families and our faith family (roots, shoots and fruits). Creative elements threading through the sessions build towards a participatory act of worship in which adults and children alike can be involved at their own level.

Calling all WI peeps! I want to put together our next #WiMeetUp and will send out the survey on dates hopefully this weekend. When would you like me to target dates? January, March, or April? (I‘m at an out of state training for 2 weeks in Feb) For those of you new to us, the city we travel to is Madison.

gossamerchild I'd prefer April. More dependable, weather-wise. 6y
JenReadsAlot Yay!! I say April 6y
TheWordJar No plans yet for 2019, so I‘m available at all those times! I don‘t want to step on anyone‘s toes, but if people are interested in meeting in Green Bay at all, their book festival, Untitled Town, will be April 26-29 next year. They usually have quite a few good speakers and workshops, for those writers among us! Maybe I‘ll try to organize something closer to the dates if people are interested in that as well! 6y

AlaMich I am a Wisconsin-adjacent (Chicago) Litten who has never been to a meetup but am wondering if I might join you folks? I‘ve been to Madison once and have always wanted to return, and it would be great to meet some fellow Littens IRL. 😊 6y
BethM @AlaMich of course! It sounds like spring works better so I'll probably delay the specific date survey until after Jan 1. We have a slack channel too. I'll get you the link. 6y
AlaMich @BethM That would be great, thanks!! 😀 6y
Avanders Want @LitsyHappenings to repost? 6y
BethM @Avanders @LitsyHappenings not yet. I'll try to remember to tag when I send out the survey which won't be til after the 1st now that we're going with spring. 6y

Repost from @CareBear :

Hello all my fellow CT (& surrounding areas) littens! A few of us have been chatting about getting a #litsymeetup together. I think there‘s enough interest! My initial thought was meeting somewhere like R.J. Julia‘s or The Book Barn but any ideas are welcome! Maybe we can get an email chain going to discuss possible locations and dates. If you‘re interested, email me at ctlitsy@gmail.com. Feel free to spread the word!

CareBear Thanks so much for the repost! 7y
LitsyHappenings @CareBear Anything for you, dear Litten! 😊 7y
SilversReviews Have a fun meet up!! Love the graphic. 7y

Litsy friends in Western Wa/Puget Sound, @MinDea is finally trying to get us all together sometime in 2018! I tagged a few of you on her original post, but I‘m sure I forgot some folks. If we‘re friends & you‘re in the area & you‘d want to get together a couple times next year for books & talk & more, go to her post & chime in - let‘s get us all on the thread and throw some ideas out there! 😊

MinDea Thanks for sharing!! 🙌😄 7y
Sweettartlaura @MinDea My pleasure 😊. The more, the merrier, right? 7y
MinDea Absolutely! 7y

MinDea @That-Bookish-Hiker you're in Portland, right? That's not far!😄 7y

kamoorephoto Weekday mornings are always easy but I can figure out what Saturdays will work...I can then see if my other book pal who I need to get on here will come too. She‘s the one driving down with me for the Portland book fest... 7y
MinDea @BookishJess Seattle area, right? 7y
MinDea It's been a while so I can't remember if it is @Sweettartlaura or @Laura317 who lives in WA? I'm sorry I can't remember but we discussed almost a year ago! 7y
Sweettartlaura It‘s me! And @AWahle @respekt1111 @Oliveskool @ohmygoshbeck ... maybe a few others. We‘re all in Pierce Cty/around Tacoma. I‘d love to do this. But I really can‘t make any commitments until after the New Year at this point 😕 7y
AWahle Sounds like fun! Litsy led me to the other wonderful ladies @Sweettartlaura mentioned & an awesome book club. 7y
MinDea @Sweettartlaura A 2018 Seattle Book exchange sounds good! 7y
Sweettartlaura I‘d love to do something maybe once a quarter? Read a book that‘s local/meet at a local place with some bookish history/get around Puget Sound a bit. 7y
Sweettartlaura If anyone is interested, the book club @AWahle mentioned is reading about Mt St Helens in March - you‘re welcome to join us at that 😊 7y
Sweettartlaura Also, @ohmygoshbeck hosts a brunch each month with a book swap - it‘s the No Book Book Club - we talk about a couple books we‘re reading/read, & bring one for a white elephant swap. Again, you‘re welcome to that if you‘re interested 😊 7y
Laura317 @MinDea I wish I was in the area! I'm in a non-Litsy area, apparently. ☹️ 7y
That-Bookish-Hiker @MinDea Portland isn‘t that far, just a 3 hr drive. I wouldn‘t be able to meet up regularly but maybe once or twice a year. I wonder if any other Littens are in the Portland area. 7y
MinDea @That-Bookish-Hiker Not sure what this will turn into but just come when you can! We could also come to Portland. I am sure no one would object to a trip to Powell's! 7y
MinDea @Laura317 what area do you live in? Maybe I have met someone near you on here that will do a meetup! 7y
MinDea @That-Bookish-Hiker @Sweettartlaura @ohmygoshbeck @AWahle @Oliveskool @respekt1111 @BookishJess @kamoorephoto can everyone give me their email address and I can start a group email to discuss? Can add people if anyone else shows interest! 7y
MinDea @TricksyTails would you want to do a meetup in Seattle/Portland? 7y
AWahle Andrea.wahle@yahoo.com 7y
TricksyTails How fun!! If I could make the timing work, I would love to! Don't think I could make it all that often to Seattle but I'd definitely try when possible. Thanks for thinking of me! 7y
Oliveskool Blaqkolive@gmail.com 7y
That-Bookish-Hiker @MinDea my email is cristaljatip@hotmail.com 7y
kamoorephoto Mine‘s scriptkat@hotmail.com - a perfect place is the downtown library (ps. the bookstore has used books for $1 🙀) 7y
kamoorephoto Well it‘s the giftstore but I keep calling it the bookstore... 7y
Sweettartlaura Lceronelc@gmail.com 7y
respekt1111 I'm in! respekt1111@gmail.con 7y
underthebelljar Yep! Seattle is only a ferry ride away for me. I'd love to come if I can make it! 7y
underthebelljar bookishjess@gmail.com 7y
Sweettartlaura @EsquireGirl Get in on this! 7y
EsquireGirl @MinDea Please add me to the discussion re a meetup of Littens in Seattle! allisonmcroft@gmail.com 7y
MinDea @Jeannie this post is a little buried on my feed so here is where we talked about it. I sent an email out but nothing has been decided. I was going to reply soon with some options. Could you provide your email address and I will include you on the email? So happy to find another PNWer! 7y
Jeannie @MinDea this would be fun! Hojeb@comcast.net thanks! 7y

Announcement ?! Hi, everyone! @BookBabe & I will be attending #BookExpo & #BookCon, the largest publishing industry convention in the world! I posted way back in October-ish, so I'll make another one now. Litsyans have already reached out to me from that last post. If you plan on attending BE and/or BC (which is June 3 & 4), email me at jasonvigorito at gmail, subject-lined "BookExpo". We want to know who will be going, so we can all meet! ???

mcctrish That sounds like so much fun 8y
MrBook @mcctrish It's *the* best! @BookBabe & I look forward to the convention every year 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. We meet a lot of authors & wind up bringing home a car-load of books. Last time, we had overflow from the trunk onto the backseat. (edited) 8y
MCYmermaid Oooh, hope to see many of you there!! Yay, BEA! 📚📚🌆🌃 8y
