Community Outreach Ideas
Fri, Aug 8, 2008
One thing that I want Epic Church to be known for more than anything is our love! I have a feeling that God wants the Church to be involved in the life of our community infecting it with the love of God. A new exercise that I have been performing in my own life is to look at ways my day to day activity intersects with my community and try to think of simple, God honoring ways I could inject love.
The most recent example has come from this whole baby experience. Here are my ideas so far:
- As a church, see if Parents as Teachers would allow us to provide them supplies that they could give at their discretion to parents who are in need.
- Get in touch with any woman’s clinic’s in town and see if the church could provide baby blankets for expectant moms.
- See if the church could provide refreshments for the lamaze classes.
These are just a few ideas, maybe good, maybe not so good. I just feel like there are easy ways that Christians can quit programming and start investing and making a difference in their community and hopefully open avenues to talk about the love of Jesus!
What are some of your creative ideas?
