Welcome to the Good Neighbor Experiment!
After registering for the Good Neighbor Experiment (GNE), you should have received an email from one of our staff members at The Neighboring Movement which included: details about payment, an overview sheet for after registration, and details about when Workshop 1 is. If not, please send an email to our GNE Associate, at hello@neighboringmovement.org.
Below you will find all that you need to complete the Good Neighbor Experiment. The first section gives you some options for how best to prepare for Workshop 1. The second section has the three “labs,” or small group studies, of the Good Neighbor Experiment. The third section has resources for our GNE participants like marketing materials, our worship bundle in both English and Spanish, and alumni resourcing. Happy Neighboring!
