How will Active Love Church focus on the Give It portion of our vision? Read an overview of Give It here.
We have found that many people will not come to a church service or building by themselves no matter how attractional that church might be. So if we want to love the community, we have to go to them. Our strategy is going to start in the local parks. We will go to a park twice a month to just hang out. We might hand out water or popsicles, pick up trash, meet people and play games. We will also have dedicated prayer. We want to find out more about the needs of the community and to do that we have to meet more people who live there. We hope to eventually cover all the streets of McGregor.
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?
1 Corinthians 3
Here is what we say about our park time in our informational bulletin:
We believe we have to show love, not just say it. We have to go into the community to find out needs. We have to meet new people to spread the love of Jesus. We do outreach through park times. We meet at a park, prayer walk, do neighborhood ministry, and love on those we meet.
