July is a great time to reach people. In fact, it’s one of those “hidden” opportunities for outreach.
People are in and out on vacation in June and August, but are generally speaking, home in July.
My recommendation is to pick a Sunday in July (later is better) and plan an event that will attract people to come out.
Here’s a couple of ideas:
1. New series launch
2. Combined service with a Church picnic afterwards (this takes little effort and works really well)
3. Baptism
4. Start of a new initiative
Honestly, you could actually do all of these on the same day is you timed it right.
The point is, July is a great time to gain momentum and work towards building for the Fall. There’s still time to plan something to reach people this summer.
We’re going to talk about how to maximize every season in Outreach Ninja. This is the new way we’re doing coaching and resources for churches. Check out our charter membership opportunity here.
