Rising Tide is about building connection and lifting each other up.  So our meetings and events are very important to our mission. 

Our monthly meetings are where we get down to business.  For the time being, meetings will be held virtually.  Someday, hopefully someday very soon, we will hold in person gatherings as well. 

Each meeting will follow the same general format:

• Open with Prayer: While we do not all worship in the same way or with the same terminology, it is a core principle of Rising Tide that we hold belief in a Sovereign, Benevolent & Loving Creator.  As with any other social convention, if you wish not to participate in the prayer, you are welcome to stand or sit quietly, showing respect to those who do.

• Announcements and Awards: We will pass along news of club business and we will celebrate victories of our fellow members. 

• Presentation:  We will have a member presentation centered around the application of one of the Pillars in everyday life. 

• Guest speaker:  Often we will have a guest speaker, presenting on a topic of interest to our membership.

• Networking time & discussion:  This is a time to let our hair down, and fellowship a bit.  Refreshments are provided at in person meetings; encouraged at virtual meetings.

• Optional Book Club:  We will follow each meeting with book club session with corporate discussion of the club’s current book under study. 

We are also planning regional and national conventions where you will be able to connect with a broader network of Rising Leaders, further develop your worldview and skill base, and generally have a positive good time. 

Finally, we have in the works a series of trips and retreats centered around various themes, to further enrich the experience of being a Rising Tide Leader.
