Last night the Service and Outreach team met at our house. We discussed this past year and made plans for next year. We had several excellent events this year. We hosted the Spiritual Growth Boot Camp, Family Fun Fest, Fun with H2O day, and Trunk or Treat.
We felt like we could do better with follow-up. We need to beginning planning for follow-up as part of the preparation for the event itself. We’ve planned for Family Fun Fest, Fun with H2O day, and Trunk or Treat again in 2007. We’re still deciding on the Spiritual Growth Boot Camp (SGBC).
Should we do something like the SGBC again or should we think of some other events? There were suggestions of a marriage, a parenting, or a financial seminar. Should we bring in an outside speaker? Who would you suggest?
So, what do you think? How should we proceed next year?

I’d like to see us put more emphasis on greeting, meeting, and following up on visitors each week to get them to keep coming and get in studies with members. I believe this should be a major focus of our entire group. I consider this to be one of the basics even before other service efforts.

I think our emphasis should be on drawing people to Christ by giving them biblical information and help to use in their daily lives like: Marriage enrichment, parenting skills, financial management. Having a lot of “fun” activities is fine occasionally, but how is Fun with H2O going to help a parent cope with an unruly child, or manange debt?
