Ah, yes, “the catch”. For events like these, we have what we like to call a “no-catch catch”. Let me tell you our ‘ask’ up-front.

When we introduce people to FiveTwo, they usually find themselves in one of three categories:

1. For some people, they learn about FiveTwo but decide we’re not a fit for their portfolio of causes. Yet they have friends for whom FiveTwo may be a fit. If that’s where you land, you should steward God’s resources as He leads you. And we’d be honored if you introduce us to friends who might take a deeper interest in our ministry.
2. For most people, they are intrigued enough about FiveTwo and our unique approach that they make a financial gift of significance and become a close friend of FiveTwo. Some of them even make FiveTwo one of their ‘top three causes.’ Which is awesome.
3. For a handful of people, they have an extreme sense of calling that they are meant to join with us in some deep missional way. Usually these individuals not only make a financial gift of significance, they also join FiveTwo with a deep gift of time. Sometimes by joining our board. Sometimes by forming a close mentoring relationship with one or more of our sacred starters.

So there’s no upfront commitment you have to make or guilt-induced donation you’ll be pressed into. Instead, we trust – and we anticipate you will trust – that the Holy Spirit will reveal what, if anything, you’re meant to do at the end of your time with us. It might be just to enjoy a night with friends and great food, it might be to build a lifelong ministry relationship. Regardless, there’s no catch. We trust God knows what He’s doing, and whatever He brings out of you being with us will be a great blessing. It will definitely be a great time.

The doors will open at 6:00 p.m. We’d love for you to arrive a little early, grab a drink and passed appetizer and mingle with some of our special guests. If you need more time, we get it. The dinner program will start at 7:00 p.m.

Yes! That’s actually a goal of this evening- to introduce more people to our work. We’d love for you to be thinking of others you think would want to learn more about our ministry…and have a fun night with good food and some great people.
