Community Block Party for November 18th

This post is a follow up to our SALT meeting held Sunday, August 27th. We are planning a community block party to be held on our church campus on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

The event will include...

1. Food - Smoked Chicken with all the sides. (I believe that we will need to sell meal tickets in advance and onsite to cover the costs of the food.)
2. Music - Arrangements are being made to have some musicians and singers come and play.
3. Family Activities - games, events, children's toys, etc.
4. Door Prizes - We will be asking everyone to register for door prizes. This will allow us to get information from people to follow up, share Christ, and invite to our church.
5. Promotion - we need to distribute fliers throughout the community. Perhaps Al Weeks will place the information in his newsletter. The Pennysaver will also be useful in spreading the word.

Keep in mind, our main focus in this event is to build a positive impression on all who visit with us. We want to build awareness in the community of our church and take full advantage of this event to reach people for Christ.

We will need a lot of planning and help. Let us know what you can do to participate in planning for this event. If the Lord leads, give financially to help our church cover the costs. This will be an investment for a church of our size with our current budget.

Thanks,

Pastor Chris

P.S. - We need a name for this event. How about "Harvest by the Sea"? Do you have some other ideas?
