Looking for something close to home?

  • Watch the sunset over Saylorville Dam. Be there before 5:40pm or you’ll miss it!
  • Share a basket of chips and salsa at Chilis. For a special treat, try the salsa and ranch dressing combo.
  • Get a quick workout or swim some laps together at Trail Point.
  • Hit the arcade or bowl a game at B&B Theatre.
  • Grab a few legendary breakfast tacos at Fuzzy Taco.
  • Create your new favorite ice-cream flavor at Sweet Swirls or Cold Stone Creamery.

Got a little extra time?

Some great date conversation starters:

  • When do you remember laughing with me the most?

  • Who do you miss the most who is waiting for you in heaven?
  • Who are you most like – your father or mother? In what ways?
  • What did you want to be when you were 10 years old?
  • When did you first get that definite feeling, “God is here. He is real.”? Where were you? What were you doing?
  • What prayer have you been praying for years – and wonder how God will answer?
  • What’s your favorite Bible verse (even if you can’t remember it word perfectly)? Why?
  • What’s your favorite song that we sing in church? Why do you like it so much?
  • Name two things you want to be remembered for. How can I help you develop those two things?
  • What dream have you put on the back burner? Do you think it’ll stay there forever, or would you like to still live it out one day? How can I help?
