Growth Ideas 101: Getting More Summer Ready
Are you visitor ready this summer? Do you have kids activity resources prepared, organized and greeters informed to pass them out? Perhaps package family activities in fun ways, like a pizza box “church to go” style filled with fun to use in worship and/or to take home. Set up “to go” boxes to be offered to families passing by, outside your church, at a local community partner space. Can you be neighbourhood local experts, offering information about local events, history, adding activity hosting from your community of faith experts?
Do you have greater tourist traffic and want to explore strengthening invitation? How might you use a QR Code to help connect with others? How are you letting passers-by know that you are there? Can you offer a water stop? Lemonade stand? Popsicles or freezies to cool off? A gender-neutral restroom to use? invitation to things happening, drop in coffee and conversations, book discussions, crafting, sharing skills …?
Keep the ideas for events and activities active and engaging. Need some ideas for events to try. Connect with me. It’s not too early to be thinking about fall and Advent/Christmas planning. Perhaps there will be such excitement, you can do a Christmas in July event!
Contact your growth animator by emailing Sharon Ballantyne or call at 506-306-0500.
