My Proposal for Grace Church of the Nazarene is to expand the youth group and to bring in more people for Sunday and Wednesday night services and spread the word of God out to the community.
The reason i believe i need to do this is because the church has been having problems with money since last fall because the church as so many people on the record as part of the church but only a few of those people are ever there. Because of money being loss, the church has had to cut back on heating in the winter, lighting, and expenses for the organization the church supports, such as missionaries. But before any of this can change, i am going to need the help of the current youth group members and the current members of the church. With their help, i plan on making flyers and posters when the church is having dinners, cookouts, or get togethers so that we can invite or people can come on their own to the church in an environment they feel comfortable with.
I want them to feel comforable with the church when they come because i was once one of those people who was turned off from going to church because of how everyone there looked down on you because you weren't apart of the church or because you weren't wearing the right clothing. If they come to the church for a dinner or get together first, they will not have to worry about trying to fit in, they can be themselves and meet people as themselves.
I think that this is an awesome idea. As a USI student I can not attend church b/c I do not have a car, so I go to Student Christian Fellowship on sunday nights. This sounds like it would be fun to go to church dinners. Maybe on your posters you could leave a phone number so if someone like me who doesn't have a car they could still come to the dinner or church services. Good luck with your proposal and hope your church can come up with the money that they need.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that this is a great idea for a public sphere project. I feel that this project could really work because there are a lot of people that feel like they don't fit in when they do go to church. Except for some spelling errors this was a great blog.
ReplyDeleteIt honestly sounds like a great idea but maybe a little tough to get going. I like your perspective and thoughts about this topic. You have wondrous ideas and look like you are off to a fine start. Nice job :]
