<p><strong>REACHING OUT AT CHRISTMAS TIME</strong><br /> By Pastor Bill Whitt<br /> <strong><span style="font-family:'noticia text', georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">There may be 41 days left before Christmas, but today is the perfect time to begin thinking about how to use this season for church renewal and reaching out!</span></strong><br /> <span style="font-family:'noticia text', georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">Now you might say, "But Bill, our congregation is so introverted, and outreach does not come naturally to us." </span><span style="font-family:'noticia text', georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">You're in good company.</span><em> </em><span style="font-family:'noticia text', georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">I recently read that in one denomination, 72 percent of its churches qualify as "introverted" or "troubled."</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:'noticia text', georgia, 'times new roman', serif;"><strong>Christmas offers a unique opportunity for even solidly introverted churches to reach out in love to their communities.</strong> By incorporating aspects of outreach into seasonal ministries, any and every church can be "on mission" this season!</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family:'noticia text', georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">Here are a few Christmas outreach ideas I've seen work well!</span><hr />
<p><strong>FIVE IDEAS TO INCORPORATE OUTREACH INTO ADVENT</strong></p>
<hr />
<p><strong>Idea 1: CANDLELIGHT SERVICE INVITATIONS</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:'noticia text', georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">A recent survey found that "holiday programs and activities" are important to 65 percent of respondents (ACS Technology's MissionInsite tool). </span>Because holiday traditions are important to so many people, many people in your community will respond favorably to a simple invitation to a traditional candlelight service.</li>
<li>Are you equipping your people to make that invitation (physical cards, Facebook event, etc.)? Are you setting, tracking, and celebrating invitation goals?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Idea 2: POINSETTIA GIFTS FOR NEIGHBORS</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Christmas is a time when giving and receiving gifts feels natural. Could there be a better time to knock on people's doors to offer a small gift?</li>
<li>You could offer poinsettias to your local neighbors or even ask your congregants to take poinsettias into each of their own neighborhoods. And that invitation card we just talked about -- why not offer it along with the poinsettia?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Idea 3: CHRISTMAS LIGHT DISPLAY</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:'noticia text', georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">If your church is blessed with good frontage along a busy road or a nice front lawn, Christmas is the perfect season to highlight this space.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:'noticia text', georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">By adding a Christmas light display, you can send the message that your church is a welcoming place. Perhaps, adding elements of the Christmas story to the display or even hosting "hot chocolate nights" would make it even more effective!</span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Idea 4: FAMILY-FRIENDLY ENTERTAINMENT</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>With time off from school and work, many families are looking for entertainment during the holiday season.</li>
<li><span style="font-family:'noticia text', georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">Is your church equipped to host a concert or other event? It could be a nationally known Christian band, a local orchestra, or even a local dance studio's seasonal performance. All these can help bring people onto your property and introduce them to your church.</span></li>
</ul>
<strong>Idea 5: COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS</strong>
<ul>
<li>Churches have to be careful that Christmas does not become an insider-only affair. It is OK to entertain people and to gather the faithful for seasonal traditions, but the church is called to serve the community too.</li>
<li><span style="font-family:'noticia text', georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">This season, what can you do to meet a tangible need in your community? For you, it might look like partnering with a homeless ministry or helping staff a kitchen ministry. Or it could be as simple as collecting canned goods at your candlelight service.</span></li>
</ul>

Since the new era began in 2006, under direction of the Holy Spirit, we have progressed from a programmed prayer event to worship services in the past two years, to a full evangelistic revival type of atmosphere this year. </span></div>

This is the people's event....and this year, the people supported it and came out in the largest turnout in seven years! Thousands more heard the hour-long event broadcast later that night on Christian Radio on <a href="http://www.wluj.org/">WLUJ 89.7 FM</a> and over the internet. (Springfield's Mayor usually reads the City Proclamation. If I ever have a politician praying on the platform in the future, he or she will be a born-again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.)</span></div>

<div><span>The theme this year was "ONE NATION UNDER GOD", but the theme I set out for Springfield was "What do I do now?" based on 1 Corinthians 14:15. This theme was fleshed out for days on this blog and on Facebook to the many hundreds who read and scores on Facebook who signed up as attending. The Holy Spirit threaded a thick thread of Repentance; Deliverance; Unity; Love and Salvation.</span></div>

<div><span><br/>The revival atmosphere came with the preaching of the raw Gospel because we wanted people to know that they MUST BE SAVED not just to go to heaven, but to help others here on earth to get there. Also, just as important is this fact - God does NOT hear the prayers of an unrighteous (or unsaved) person!</span></div>

<span>The Worship Music was simple, rich and anointed without a rock band atmosphere...as I wanted simple and straight down the middle. The fellowship was even sweeter and the saints were loving on each other! The press ignored us, but who cares! Several Christian State Senators joined us, including my Christian brother and Senator Sam McCann. </span><br/><span>Most of all, the Gospel was preached and several unsaved people I invited stayed for the entire program and seemed to even enjoy it! They heard the Truth, now they must ask themselves "What Do I Do Now"?! </span><br/>
