Neighborhood Picnic - Get the word out!

The last post inspired me to share with you some more information about the neighborhood picnic! Amy Meyer and I have been delegated the task of getting the word out to the neighborhood about our picnic; inviting our neighbors to join in our celebration!

Recently, the youth participated in step 1 of our process of inviting our neighbors to the picnic. We wanted to make contact with CMLC's neighbors in a caring, face to face way before handing them invitations to the picnic. So, in early March, the youth went door to door in our neighborhood asking if they could pray for people.

So, Amy and I need your help with Step 2: Getting invitations to our neighbors. We need all life groups to help with this process! We want to be able to hand deliver invitations to our neighbors face to face. Here's the plan:

If your life group meets at a home that is within Christ Memorial's neighborhood, we would like to ask your life group to take a night to pass out invitations to the street(s) around that home.

If your life group does not meet in a home in CMLC's neighborhood, we would like your group to pick a night to come and pass out invitations in CMLC's neighborhood. We will assign your group 2-3 streets to cover.

By April 19th, please let Emily Bremer or Amy Meyer know which streets in our neighborhood your group will cover (because you already meet in a home there) or if you need to be assigned streets to cover (because your group doesn't meet in a home around the church).

We would like invitations to be passed out between May 4th and May 17th. One suggestion would be to do this on a night your life group already meets, but to use the time to prayer walk in the neighborhoods by church and pass out the invitations.

If we all pitch in, we should be able to make a lot of face to face contact with our neighborhood! I can't wait to see how God is going to bless this effort and this picnic.

Peace,
Emily Bremer
