Retro Connect is a simple idea with a powerful impact:  Bringing back the habits that helped build strong communities.  In a fast-paced, digital world, many of the everyday connections that once shaped our neighborhoods and relationships have faded.  Retro Connect invites us to rediscover those “old school” ways of connecting with people—face-to-face, neighbor-to-neighbor, friend-to-friend.

Why Retro Connect?

Real relationships are built through small, intentional moments.  A helping hand when someone needs it.  Taking time to visit with and know those around you.  A cup of coffee and conversation.  Retro Connect encourages people to become catalysts for connection, turning ordinary moments into opportunities to strengthen community.

How It Works

Each month, we will focus on a simple theme that encourages meaningful connection.  Participants are invited to try small, practical actions that bring people together and create space for authentic relationships.

See details below about our focus for this month.

 

June Theme:  Reach Across

St. Luke Tailgate Party on June 7…See details below

In a world that pushes people apart, let's connect intentionally!  The June Retro Connect theme is "Reach Across."  Connect with people across cultural, economic, political and generational lines.  Everyone has a story as well as a need for human connection, so let’s be intentional about connecting.

June has many opportunities to connect with others, beginning with the start of the College World Series on June 12; the Juneteenth Parade on Saturday, June 13 at 10:00am along North 24th Street; and Father’s Day on Sunday, June 21.  These are just a few of the opportunities to connect, but you can find many more as you go about your day.

To kick off June’s “Reach Across” theme, the Faith in Action team will be hosting a St. Luke Tailgate Party on Sunday, June 7 at 3:00pm in St. Luke’s upper bell tower parking lot.  Come join us for food, drinks (did you know nonalcoholic beer is a thing now?), fun and more. We will be watching one of the final games that will send a team to Omaha for the College World Series.  (You don’t need to bring any food or drinks, but we will take a free-will offering to cover the costs.)
