Reaching Within Your Own Church Family

Outreach Ideas for the Church

Sometimes we get caught up on trying to reach those outside the church that we forget about our own church families. Perhaps there is a family in need of one of the Thanksgiving baskets that have been prepared and ready to go out to the neighborhood. See if a church family needs that uplift during the holidays. A baby sitter might do a young couple some good to have a well needed night out alone for a quiet dinner.  Another way to help is having a scholarship fund for those ready to head off to college.  If someone has lost a loved one, or went through a recent bitter divorce, it might be a good idea to send some Valentine's to them during that holiday.
