2020 Summer Virtual Community Interest Groups

Summer is already upon us, and we want YOU to share your interests with our church family! We are looking for people who want to host virtual community interest groups/events during mid-June to mid-August to help us spice up our summer!

Interested but not sure what to do? Some fun ideas include:

  • DIY tutorials, cooking classes

  • Book clubs

  • Workshops, masterclasses

  • Pro bono consultations (tax, law, etc.)

  • Watch parties (TV, movies)

  • Game nights

  • Group workouts, Zumba

The floor is yours!

How to get started

  1. Come up with an idea (or several!)

  2. Figure out the logistics. Here is a suggested checklist of questions to answer:

    • What date/time will you host this group/event?

    • Will this be a recurring group/event?

    • Will there be a cap on the # of participants?

    • What platform will you use? (Zoom, Google Meet, WebEx, Google Duo, etc. Note that some of these platforms have lower participant limits.)

    • Do you need a registration form, or do you want people to contact you directly about joining?

    • How will people be able to contact you? Note: This info will be made publicly available online.

  3. Create a registration form (if applicable). Suggested platforms are Google Forms, TypeForm, or JotForm.

  4. Send an email to Sally Kim at kimsally@sarang.com with all your details. You will work with her to get your group/event onto our public calendar (www.holywave.org/summer2020) and to spread the word through our various channels.

  5. Start receiving sign-ups, and make sure to coordinate accordingly.

  6. Host your group, and have fun!

  7. Share screenshots/pictures/videos with Sally so that we can share on social! :)

Protips to Host a Successful Event:

  • You can set submission limits on registration forms if you want to place a cap on sign-ups

  • Make sure to communicate specific logistics to your participants in a timely manner, especially if you need them to prepare anything in advance (e.g. art supplies, cooking ingredients, reading material, etc.)

  • Use email over phone to communicate - remember, this contact info will be made available publicly online

  • If you are hosting something that results in a finished product, prepare pictures/videos of what you’re making to entice more people to join! Each group will be promoted with its own page on our website/calendar, so we will have space to add these media.

Important Notes:

  • All groups must be free to join (no signup fees)

  • Please exercise discretion when coming up with topics

  • All groups will be screened in advance to ensure appropriateness and feasibility
