Evangelism Conversation with Pastor Belton

We are not looking for “door knockers” but are looking for people who are willing to expand the Gospel Messaging in our community.

Part of our conversation will be to identify a target group of who needs assistance in the community.  We have a lot of excellent programs in place and Pastor Belton will be speaking with us on how to take these programs up one notch to expand our work toward the Gospel Messaging.

Some of the questions to consider:

• Who is serving our young people?
• How can we work with the Scouting program already in place at the church?
• How can we expand our connections with the immediate schools by the church?
• What activities can we offer to our neighbors to bring the Word of God to them?
• How can we be more intentional in our work?
• How and what do we do a follow-up with those community members we come in contact with at the church?

The event is scheduled for Saturday, March 7^th from 9 AM to 3 PM.  The first hour or so will include Bible Study and then the remainder of the day will involve our conversation about follow-up to our programs we have in place at Trinity.  Lunch, snacks, and drinks will be provided.

On Sunday, March 8^th, Pastor Belton will be speaking during our services.

Points to ponder

• Who’s our target?
• Targeting younger families
• Are there sinners in the area?
• Where do reach first – the local community or the outer counties where some members live?
• Are there elementary, middle, or high schools in the immediate area?
• Young families?  Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts
• Movie night for the community? [movie for the kids and then converse with the adults? How can we serve the adults and their needs?]
• Book club?
• After-school sessions for students?
• Who’s serving the young people in our area?
• Invite to be part of the church community
• Lizzie – spread the Gospel and the name of Trinity
• Scouting programs in our church
• Provide school supplies to the local schools {pencils, hand-sanitizer, etc.}
• Very intentional with our efforts to press into the community
• Take a group who is willing to knock on doors into the community.
• Issue is follow-up (Lutherans as a whole – not just at Trinity)
• We need members involved.
• Feet-on-the-ground:
  • Activity
  • Committee is there for planning
  • Need people for the outing.
