Outreach 2006

Recently the ministry staff of the church got together to brainstorm about possible outreach events and strategies for 2006. Below are some of the ideas we talked about. Now don’t blow a gasket. This doesn’t mean that we are doing all of the things listed below in the next calendar year. It was just a very exciting brainstorming session.

Handing out bottles of water at Lititz Specialty Shows
We could make connections with people by offering free bottles of water at the shows down at the Lititz Springs Park including the craft show; art show and antique show.

Parades
We could make one very nice parade float that would be general enough for many different ministries to use. We could pick 5 area parades and have 5 different ministries enter the float in one of the parades, handing out fliers promoting their ministries.

Harvest Weekend
We could have a harvest weekend fair including the possibility of a Car show; Bounces; Pumpkin carving contests; Baking contests; Candy scrambles; and outdoor music.

High’s Day
We could rent out all of the activities at High’s on 501 in Lititz including the driving range, batting cages, miniature golf, go karts, and car wash. We could make all of these available to the community on a Saturday afternoon free of charge, compliments of Grace Church. We could even give free fountain drinks at Sheetz during that same time-frame, compliments of Grace Church.

Appreciation Days
We could have a special appreciation morning on a Sunday morning to honor a specific area of the community. This could be a Little League, Soccer or Football Appreciation Day; or a special Teacher Appreciation Banquet for all Public School faculty and staff

Expanding Patriotic Celebration
We could expand the Patriotic Celebration by including an afternoon picnic or hog roast along with doing the VBS fun fair on that day rather than on the night before VBS.

Rodeo and Country Western Worship Service
We could bring in a rodeo on the land across the street that we have recently purchased and include with it a special country-western Sunday morning worship service.
