Ministers Desk 17th March 2013


 
In the lead up to Easter we have a task to promote our Easter services in our local community.

 

Our congregation has received 3000 postcards that need to be delivered in our local area.  This is a low risk, high visibility of way of letting people know about our worship services and to encourage them to attend and hear the good news of the death and resurrection their saviour.

 

These postcards need to be delivered into people’s letter boxes within the next two weeks.

 

1.                  Bundles of postcards are on the table in the foyer.  Each bundle contains about 50 postcards, take as many bundles as you are willing to deliver.

2.                  On the street map, also on the table, mark off the streets where you will make deliveries.  Doing this ensures that we don’t double up on deliveries. 

3.                  If the streets that you live in are already taken, consider driving to another area, parking the car and then walking around the streets and delivering.

4.                  As you walk and deliver postcards, pray for the people who live in the houses.  Pray that they will respond to the invitation of the postcards and that they will find themselves in church and hear the good news of Jesus. 

5.                  Return any unused cards to the church, or collect more cards if you run out.

 

You can also use the cards to give to your Brian (a pre-Christian friend that you’re intentionally sharing faith with) and invite them to worship with you over Easter.  There is great value in making a personal invitation.

 

Thank you for sharing in this important outreach opportunity.

 

Grace and peace
