We Go because He said so. We have been greatly commissioned... 

 

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit..." Matthew 28:19

 

This was not just a suggestion. 

 

We also Go because it is our joy to do so. We find great fulfillment in heeding His orders to "GO." To spread His hope, His love, His life-transforming message is our privilege, honor, and delight.

 

 

Although we do several large community outreach events each year the most effective outreach is the way our members reach out every day in the lives they live. Here are some very effective ways you can reach out to those around you and effectively touch lives for the Kingdom. You can use them in conjunction with the “Random act of Kindness” cards we have available at the info center outside the sanctuary.

 

 

 

1.Pay attention to the people around you in your neighborhood or at work. Send up an arrow prayer as you walk by them.

2.Be mindful of those who serve you—bank tellers, grocery store clerks, fast food workers. Look them in the eye and tell them you appreciate their service.

3.Leave a note of encouragement on a coworker's desk or on the windshield of their car.

4.When you walk past a piece of trash on the ground, pick it up and throw it in a garbage can.

5.When someone says they're having a bad day, stop and ask if you can pray for them right there.

6.At the drive-thru, pay for the meal of the person behind you. The card works great with this one.

7.Stop and talk with a homeless person. Find out their story.

8.Before leaving a restaurant, jot a thank you note to your server and leave it on the table or call the manager over and explain how much you enjoyed the service. The card works here, too.

9.Go out of your way to be friendly to a prickly person.

10.When you're talking with someone, give them the gift of your full attention.
