December 14th 2019 Christmas Outreach
We NEED Your Involvement!
Connie Flanery will be organizing and heading up a Christmas outreach to children and their families living around our church. The proposal is a 3 hour outreach in 2 phases, conducted on Saturday Dec. 14th.

Phase 1 — OUTSIDE (2-4pm) Fun Activities plus Meet 'n Greet
We will need helpers for the following. (PLEASE TYPE YOUR NAME BESIDE ANY OF THESE YOU ARE WILLING TO HELP WITH)
Phase 2 — INSIDE (4-5pm) GOSPEL & *GIFTS
The children who come will be invited in (with their guardians) to hear the Gospel and receive their gifts.
*GIFTS — Connie (and team) will have canvased the neighborhood to find 10 families with children who will commit to come and receive a gift for each child. Connie will gather the names and ages, and follow up with the families to be certain they will attend. She will purchase simple gifts appropriate for boys or girls, wrap the gifts and put each child's name on their gift. She will have extra gifts marked for boys and girls for any children who happen to incidentally show up.
We will need helpers for the following. (PLEASE TYPE YOUR NAME BESIDE ANY OF THESE YOU ARE WILLING TO HELP WITH)
This proposed outreach is aimed at winning souls and growing our church. Who doesn't want that? It is a fairly simple effort utilizing the resources we presently have. PLEASE give your heartfelt consideration to participating in this effort. Winning souls and growing a fruitful church takes effort. Jesus said pray the Father will SEND LABORERS (not wishers) into the harvest. Paul said, I PLANTED, Apollos WATERED but GOD gave THE INCREASE. GOD can't increase if we don't LABOR. This must be a BODY EFFORT. I am very grateful to Connie for her vision, desire, and work. That is a GOD-sent gift to our church. But she can't do this alone. If a success results from our corporate efforts of faith & love we will have taken a solid step that can be easily built upon. So consider this as not only an immediate evangelistic outreach effort, BUT a solid investment in a future of growing fruitful outreaches!
Once we have heard from enough of you to put our team together we will schedule a group meeting with Connie to assign jobs, detail our strategies and setup communications.
THANK YOU for your prompt response.
