We placed our team on the church drive: We had bags of hope with sweets, pumpkin gospel an invite to a kids club we run term-time & glow sticks in. Then hot drinks available for adults. We made a board with the bible verse 'Jesus is the Light of the World' and lit everything up with glow sticks, including balloons. Offering a simple game of Os & Xs made from the glow sticks. Our contacts we mainly new people with no previous contact with our church. We noticed the families had specific houses to aim for, and so some of the team went out to encourage people to come visit us and they did. We had good chats and we able to share other activities we offer on a weekly basis. We gave away 28 bags to children, and many hot drinks. Very encouraging to have so many of the congregation willing to reach out and to see local families open to walking in, with possible hope for attending future events we do.
