We would like to take an opportunity over the next few weeks to reach out to some of the houses surrounding Farmdale to let our neighbors know we are meeting and would love to have them join us. We will distribute door hanging bags containing a gospel tract, church information, and a few homemade cookies. We will be targeting the houses on Durrett Lane including Hannah Avenue to Carroll Avenue this Sunday afternoon at 3:00 pm with plans to go farther down Durrett Lane and Trinity Circle in the following weeks.
We need member participation in the following ways:
1. Help by baking cookies! We will be including cookies in the packet of information we leave at each home. In order to meet our goal for this week, we need help with baking about 11 dozen cookies. If you are willing to bake cookies, please let Allen Day know how many you can make and deliver to the Mission House (4309 Carroll Ave.) anytime Saturday morning before 10:00 am. Also, we are going to put a note in the bag letting people know that we have taken safety precautions in preparing the cookies. So, if you are able to bake cookies, please use a mask and gloves while preparing them.
2. Help fill the bags on Saturday at 1:00 pm! Please contact Allen if you are able to help fill the door hanging bags we will be distributing on Sunday. We will meet in the gym at the church at 1:00 pm on Saturday.
3. Help distribute church information packets on Sunday! Sunday afternoon at 3:00 pm members will be mobilizing to visit certain houses with our information packets. In order to respect the expectations for social distancing, we will simply be hanging the bags on the doors without knocking. Please contact Allen if you are able and willing to participate on Sunday.
4. As always, pray for our neighbors that our outreach would lead to evangelism opportunities, lasting relationships, and new conversions.
For any questions, or if you would like to participate, email Allen at allen@farmdalebaptist.org.
