We had an evangelism committee meeting tonight at church. The focus of the discussion was mainly on "marketing" ideas. We talked about ways we can reach out to the community as well as how we could follow-up with people who are intersted in our church. For the latter, we will get a list of prospects and make an effort to visit them once a month or so. The goal being to inform them about our church and invite them to worship with us or look into our school for the kiddies.
As for the former, apparantly, we are having an Easter egg hunt that all children in the community will be invited to. Then, there is VBS in July. Plus, someone wants to have story time for toddlers in the afternoon once a month. All good stuff to let people know we are here and that we care about people in our community.
There are basically two types of people that the ec committee and Christians in general should be interested in reaching: 1) people who are actively looking for a church to attend and 2) people who are seeking God (actively or not). It looks like our group is doing a pretty good job dealing with type #1. However, we are doing almost nothing for type #2. Personally, I'm not sure that the ec should do the proselytizing work for the members. More on that some other day as it is getting late.
