Goal::
To make giving information less of a 1-sided transaction and more of a way for a church to pastor an individual
Audience:
First Time Guests to Regular Attenders
Direction
The idea behind this new updated connection card was to create something that felt very "mobile first" friendly but translated to paper.
Secondarily, I wanted to take the connection card experience which seems like a very one-sided transaction of giving an organization your information, somewhere that was a little more meaningful.
This Connection Card design is based primarily around the person's Decision so that we can pastor them better.
Later on, I will take this same design and create an online form that will sit in our website and app.
Your feedback, favorites, and comments are much appreciated!
Update:
This iteration was improved upon from this original concept. I added a map to know where to bring the card, reduced the amount of input fields to make it less daunting, and added a box for kids' names. I also move the perforation to the middle since we had room and lowered the cost of printing. Most of the Decision icons came from Life.Church - so thanks to them!

Celebrating The Dream
Black History Month With the Blues singer Roy Young.
Over 500 students sang and danced along with the international Soul and Blues singer Roy Young and his band at a program to celebrate Black History Month.
Throughout the performance, Roy demonstrated the deep connection between African- American music and the struggle for equal rights as illustrated during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s in the United States. He engaged with many of the students personally, and got them to understand how their lives are connected to this seminal moment in American history.
Jewish and Arab students from Lod, Ramla, Tel Aviv, Hura, Tel Sheva, Kseife, Shoham, Beer Sheva, Mazkeret Batya, Kfar Yona, Taibe, Abu Tlul and Jisser A-Zarka, many of them participants of the Embassy’s English Access Microscholarhsip program, gathered together to commemorate Black History Month, and to promote and celebrate the values of tolerance, respect and equal rights for all.
Born in the hills of Jamaica, Roy Young was attracted to Soul and Blues music at an early age. Residing in Israel, Roy and his band have cooperated with the U.S. Embassy for many years, using music to promote peace, tolerance and understanding between diverse communities living in Israel.
The project was implemented in partnership with Lod Municipality.
I think it's going from bad to worse. Focusing on all the trash rather than real subjects, making something out of nothing and totally ignoring the human values. Arab's Media is not doing a very well connection.
After several years, the slider of the zipper has come loose.

Oh, and the man is an additional element that I thought would give something more to this photo, something for "her" to look at, creating another kind of connection.

This picture reflects on the force of nature, life and beauty in its natural formation. The texture and the imperfection of the rocks project to the visitors the need to appreciate and conciliate, at the same time, with the human history and the evolution of the world. Connection to our roots and ancestors are very important to look into the future. As we all know, the world was created to shelter all living creatures in the earth. For that reason, life is the greatest gift that humans can enjoy! This is a photograph that was taken in the Grutas da Moeda during my visit to Portugal.
Happy Birthday to all!
On this day in 1818, Emily Bronte was born, in 1938, the first edition of the Beano was published, and in 1958 Kate Bush was born.
So - Beano and Wuthering Heights connections > both reading material, and of course Kate Bush and Wuthering Heights. Now, just to find a link between KB and the Beano.......
And the pencils? A reminder we took part in the project to create a written manuscript of Wuthering Heights, when we visited the Parsonage. One line each, out of 10,000 (the project is now complete).

100 words ~ connection
I couldnt think of a better way to kick off another month than with pieces of prepping dinner for my family. I love our Friday night dinners because it's one of two nights we clear our schedules and sit down to eat together. I love that we talk about our week, what we are thankful for and that everyone here, not just me looks forward to it. As the kids get older and busier they still make sure they are here for Thankful Friday and Pasta Sunday's. As a family we choose start and end the week together. Yep, I love our conversations over dinner as it keep us connected physically and emotionally. Life is SO good!
The O2 sensor connector is behind the starter, and for most bikes the starter must be removed to access it.
Before doing anything, disconnect the negative cable from the battery to prevent a short.
Top yellow arrow points to the power connection to the starter. This is live even if the ignition is turned off. After disconnecting the (-) cable at the battery, then disconnect this wire.
Middle yellow arrow points to a friction fit connector. Just pull it off.
Bottom blue arrow points to the O2 sensor connector.

Drain Connection
This was a drain that connected with a larger drain about 20 feet below. While trying to climb up, I lost my footing and ended up sliding down into the drain below. Luckily I landed on my feet, saving my camera and gear from being soaked
815 E Route 66
Tucumcari, New Mexico 88401
575-461-9849
N 35° 10.300 W 103° 42.900
From their website:
The story of the Blue Swallow Motel began when Carpenter W.A. Huggins purchased lots on March 29th, 1939 and began construction. The Blue Swallow Court, as it was originally called, was likely opened in 1941 (the exact date isn’t clear), and Mr. Huggins operated both the motor court and a cafe on the site. Ted Jones, a prominent eastern New Mexico rancher, was the first long-term owner/operator. Facing Route 66, the Blue Swallow offers access to motorists from both the highway and a side street. The motel has an L-shaped plan and consists of 14 units with a discreet office and manager’s residence. Garage units, some with wood overhead doors, are located between the sleeping units. With its pink stucco walls decorated with shell designs and a stepped parapet, the façade reflects a modest use of the Southwest Vernacular style of architecture.
When Mr. Jones and his wife died in the 1950s, Lillian Redman and her husband bought the Blue Swallow and successfully operated it, modernizing by installing a new, larger neon sign, and using the more up-to-date term, “Motel”. From the start, the Redmans put their customers first. When guests didn’t have enough money for a room, the Redmans accepted personal belongings in trade or provided the room for free. Ms. Redman and the Blue Swallow became icons of Route 66 folklore. She described the special and close connection she had with the Route 66 motorists who came in each night this way. “I end up traveling the highway in my heart with whoever stops here for the night.”
At the end of the 1960s, Interstate 40, a faster, limited-access highway, took the place of the old Route 66. The development of this new highway drastically changed the traffic circulation of Route 66 affecting many of the businesses along the way, including the Blue Swallow Motel. Ms. Redman said of the effect of Interstate 40, which bypassed Tucumcari, “When Route 66 was closed to the majority of traffic and the other highway came in, I felt just like I had lost an old friend. But some of us stuck it out and are still here on Route 66.”
After owning the Blue Swallow for almost 40 years, Ms. Redman sold the motel in the late 1990s. Extensive restoration work was performed by owners Dale and Hilda Bakke, modernizing electrical systems and repairing neon, installing 1939 Bell rotary-dial phones in each room, while retaining all of the historic character and charm of the Blue Swallow. Today, Kevin & Nancy Mueller are proud to continue to restore and maintain the Blue Swallow, preserving the building and tradition of hospitality for future generations to enjoy.
The Motel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. There is a plethora of information available about the Blue Swallow online as well as in various publications and books. Please see the Additional Reading page for more information.
When Lillian ran the Blue Swallow Motel, each guest was provided with a copy of this benediction. A printed copy is in each room today.
In ancient times, there was a prayer for “The Stranger Within our Gates.” Because this motel is a human institution to serve people, and not solely a money-making organization, we hope that God will grant you peace and rest while you are under our roof.
May this room and motel be your “second” home. May those you love be near you in thoughts and dreams. Even though we may not get to know you, we hope that you will be as comfortable and happy as if you were in your own house.
May the business that brought you this way prosper. May every call you make and every message you receive add to your joy. When you leave, may your journey be safe.
We are all travelers. From “birth till death,” we travel between the eternities. May these days be pleasant for you, profitable for society, helpful for those you meet, and a joy to those you know and love best.
The Symbolism of the Blue Swallow. The swallow, as well as bluebirds and sparrows, has always had a symbolic meaning for sailors because (before modern navigation technology) these birds were usually the first sign that land was near. For a sailor, a swallow tattoo reflected his hope of coming home safely.
Another fact is that swallows return home every year, no matter where they are. Every year, Mission San Juan Capistrano in California plays host to this wonder of nature. A flock of the tiny birds numbering in the tens or even hundreds of thousands descends upon the mission in a grand display of the workings of migration.
The swallow is a bird that chooses a mate for life. Therefore, a swallow is also a symbol for love and family loyalty.
Other symbolic meanings of the swallow include the return home after a struggle, surviving a hardship, and a victory gained.

My connection this week deals with my sneakers & walking. It's how I connect with my hubby at the end of a long day - no cell phones, no computers, no "leashes" of any sorts, just the 2 of us, talking uninterrupted, connecting.

This is a Iris 'Connection'.
Iris is a genus of about 260–300, species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris. Some authors state that the name refers to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species. As well as being the scientific name, iris is also very widely used as a common name for all Iris species.
06/27/2013 was Awesome Day in Canada, part of a Worldwide Day of Awesome! Awesome Foundation chapters across Canada and around the world held special events all on the same day in celebration.
In Calgary, we had to alter our plans due to the massive amount of flooding that hit Southern Alberta. Instead of our regular Pitch Event and planned giveaway of random AF swag downtown, we decided to run a Relaxation Station in the community of Mission in support of flood recovery efforts and flood evacuees and volunteers. People could rest up for a few minutes before heading back into the gruelling work of flood recovery.
Amenities included seating, shade, snacks and water, cell phone charging, a massage chair and massage therapists giving out free massages!
