About the Game:

The Hope Professional Collective is launching its inaugural event: 4Connection

4Connection is a fast paced, structured ice breaking social event that allows professionals to connect with at least 4 professionals in a short amount of time through a series of brief one-on-one conversations prompted by a question. 

The purpose of this game is to encourage open and natural dialogue, and cultivate meaningful connections among professionals at Center of Hope Church. Think of yourself as a walking treasure trove—full of knowledge, experiences, stories, wisdom, resources, networks, and insights—that can bless and inspire the personal and professional lives of your fellow congregants. Our hope is that you leave this exercise with something valuable to carry you through the week and the month of October.

Here’s how to play!
