House Church Gathering/Outreach February 28
Posted by ljoh3106 on February 5, 2009
Its been planned for several months and now the time is almost here. All the house churches in and around Phoenix are invited to join us for a gathering/outreach on February 28.
The band “Consider This” has the Amp Island area at Encanta Park, 2605 N. 15th Ave, Phoenix, reserved for the entire day. From about 12 noon to 5pm, they will be playing their brand of “rock, funk and blues with an edge” along with bands “Everlasting”, Christopher Munger, and “Soul Provider”. The intent is to attract everyone in the park with the music and give them a free meal. The meal will be hot dogs cooked by John Rowden of the Durango Grill. He will be bringing his very large propane grill for cooking the hot dogs and also will be providing a very large number of dogs to cook.
The plan is for us to get there some time before noon and roam around the park giving out flyers to invite people to Amp Island for the hot dogs and music. We plan to have a table with information. There was also interest in having a table for prayer also.
In the middle of all this, we hope that house church members will enjoy fellowship around the music and the food and the outreach.
But we do need volunteers. There were not many house churches represented in our earlier meetings at the Durango Grill discussing this event. So now we need people who could hand out the flyers in the morning. We need someone who would be willing to design and print a small flyer to hand out. We need help with the food. John has offered to take care of the hot dogs but we still need to provide the buns, chips, and condiments. It would be great if the house churches brought some dishes to compliment the hot dogs. If someone could provide a number of tracts or Bibles (better in Spanish) that could be given away, that would be awesome. Of course, we need people willing to share their faith.
If you want to find out more about “Consider This”, see their home website or their Myspace website. The park is also home of the Enchanted Island theme park which is a great place for the kids, as well as the adults.
Lets make this a great day of fellowship, making new friends, reaching out to others, and just enjoying the day. Even if you don’t feel called to help out, please come and have a great time anyway. Please let me (Larry) know if you can help out in any way (602-524-9400).
