An Outreach idea for you... starting planning now for February...

Here's an idea that you can use to reach out to nonchristians...

Have a Valentine's Banquet on February 13 or 14 and invite your coworkers, neighbors, etc. and others in your community -- yes, invite people that you know will probably never, ever be able to repay you -- and people that are not members of your church yet.

This can easily be a group project that several members of your congregation can get involved in... and good news, Christian... you have a few weeks to work on this.

So, go ahead get started now. Have a meeting next week with some of the other members of your local church to discuss.

You might want to invite the poor, widows, handicapped, lonely,etc. -- They can come to this special event and then maybe they'll decide to visit your church again for a worship service in the future. This is one step in the Evangelism process.

Let me know how it goes; won't you?

See the verses from the new testament below that talk about this:
16 Then He said to him, “A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, 17 and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’ 18 But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’ 19 And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’ 20 Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ 21 So that servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.’ 22 And the servant said, ‘Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.’ 23 Then the master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24 For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.’” -- Luke 14:16ff
