Special Events in the park like Church picnics or special activities in the church parking lot gives the church an enjoyable time of fellowship but can also serve as a valuable way to reach those who don’t attend church. Large community events like fireworks displays that draw crowds also provide excellent opportunities when the church gathers there. Providing games and activities for adults and kids can attract those outside the church if the church is open to inviting and including them. A table with snacks or a potluck meal also may attract kids playing nearby and church kids can be encouraged to invite kids playing nearby. If the pavilion has electricity and is closed, you can show movies, especially children’s movies. Church families can also invite their neighbors to come with them and members of neighborhood Bible Clubs will get a chance to meet the larger church. Someone can do a chalk drawing or paint a picture while telling the story that goes with it. Be sure to have literature on hand telling about your church. As the people get to know church members, they may be willing to join in other activities the church has.
