Last Tuesday, Feb. 25, we kicked off the first meeting of the San Diego County Reading Room Group—and what a night it was! About 25 folks from eight different churches gathered at the Encinitas Reading Room, ready to collaborate and energize our outreach.

Sabrina Stillwell, CSB, from the Escondido church got things rolling with an inspiring reading before explaining why we were all there. The Mother Church had reached out to see if San Diego County would be interested in a Reading Room workshop—led by them but shaped by us. Our mission? Identify our needs, brainstorm ideas, and form a steering committee with representatives from each participating church.

And brainstorm we did! The whiteboard filled up fast as ideas flew. A young member from Encinitas Society even gave us a quick lesson on leveraging Instagram to connect and share. After our lively discussion, we wrapped up the night with a delicious potluck—salmon and veggie burgers sizzling on the BBQ, courtesy of the Encinitas Society.

The Mother Church was thrilled with our gathering and has set up a Google Group for our new steering committee. Encinitas Society will also manage a calendar and email group so we can coordinate and support each other’s outreach efforts. We’ve officially named ourselves the San Diego County Reading Room Group—exciting times ahead!

Next up? A meeting at the Escondido Reading Room (date TBD) to solidify our workshop goals. The Mother Church has asked us to plan for a Saturday in April or early May. Stay tuned!
