What are some good will gestures you and your church could do to show your genuine love to your local community and contribute to creating space where unbelievers can have time to get to know you and be able to think well of you even if they disagree with your Christian world view?
At Church by the Bridge, we try to do this in a number of ways:
- Art Exhibition and Prize
- Fair Trade Markets
- Winter Appeal & Christmas Appeal collection for the needy
- Community Lunches
- Clean Up Australia Day
The only other thing I can think of are:
- Free Winter Care Hampers…. My idea is to get a washing basket (or another container that people would use) and put a blanket, food, a beanie, woolies voucher, etc,… Potentiall there may be opportunity to parnter with an organisation like ANGLICARE and ask them if they can help you give to those in need in your area. Somehow partner together. I am going to investigate this so I will get back to you with what I find out.
What are some things your church does, or things you hope to do, or have stored away on your ideas shelf?
