This experience incentives couples to go on dates (at least once per month) to break away from the daily grind and grow in connection and emotional intimacy. Couples who complete the most dates can be awarded a grand prize (weekend getaway, gift card to a fancy restaurant) or a series of prizes. Participating couples get access to simple date ideas and conversation starters. Couples are encouraged to share a photo on social media (or email directly to church staff) as proof of their date.  \nDate Night Challenge  \nHow to Deploy It:  \nLogistics: The Date Night Challenge is an easy-to-run but high impact experience for couples. There are four overarching steps your church needs to take to make it successful.  \nPrepare  \nAnswer these three questions:  \n1. When will the Challenge be run?  \n2. What prizes or incentives will you offer?  \n3. Who will manage the Challenge?  \nOnce a time-frame, prizes, and a manager have been selected, the Date Night Challenge is ready to be launched. Select date concepts from page 5 to get started.  \nCreate a Communio Pathways registration page to enroll participants and collect contact information. See templated page here.  \nLaunching the Date Night Challenge at an Outreach Event is optimal, due to the presence of the external audience. Supplementing the launch with internal promotion-email, social media, and text-to the whole church community is a great way to get people involved. See“Promotion & Invitation Tips” below.  \nManage  \nEmail registrants monthly with the dates, questions, and encouragement. Remember to highlight your other events in these emails!  \nAs evidence of completion, each couple should submit a photo of themselves on each date. The photos can sent to a designated email, posted to social media with a designated hashtag, or posted in a private Facebook group.  \nView a Communio  \nPathways demonstration for managing the Date Night Challenge here.  \nIncentivize  \nFor ongoing Date Night Challenges, award prizes monthly.  \nFor seasonal Challenges, consider hosting a WrapUp Party where participants get together for an onsite date night.  \nThis can be a unique experience, or can take place at a pre-existing  \nOutreach or Ongoing Engagement. Feature a date night photos slideshow and a special drawing for couples who completed every date tobe entered to win prizes. Consider hosting an“awards show” as part of the festivities.  \nThe Date Night Challenge can be run in one of two ways: seasonally or ongoing.  \n• A Seasonal Date Night Challenge is run over the course of one season (3-5 months) . For example, you may choose to run a Summer Date Night Challenge due to the natural slowing down of the church calendar during the summer months. Prizes are offered to those who complete the most dates. Here’s how to deploy it:  \n1. Prepare: Select a season to run your Date Night Challenge and task one person to manage it. Select an official start date and end date. Select prizes.
