CenterFest 2004 (con't)
Our volunteers will serve up free cold water and lemonade, provide a baby changing table for life's little emergencies, minister through puppets, music and more, and distribute literature which will include our Strawberry Recipe Booklet. We are also encouraging churches to put together teams who will mingle among the crowd to meet neighbors, share who we are and what we are about, and spend time prayer walking the streets of Bedford.
Think about it! This is built in evangelism that comes to your door. We mustn't ignore our own town when such an opportunity presents itself. This is a wonderful way to meet folks, help them find their way around the booths, and offer to refresh them on a hot fall day. A smile, a kind word, a prayer, and a cup of cold water in the name of Christ will go a long way in building relationships among Christians, churches, and communities.
It's not too late to get in on the action. If you are willing to be a missionary for a day at the SBA booth, pray, or take part in the various street ministries, please contact Rita Calhoun at 540-297-5271 or the Association office at sba@sbava.org.
We will conduct two identical rallies on September 9 and 17 to get ready for the big day. These brief orientation sessions will prepare everyone for what we will be doing in the booth, on the stage, and among the crowd as we prayer walk and pass out literature. Each session starts at 7:00 p.m., and participants need only attend one of the two.
Our service as witnesses must first begin at home if it is to be genuine and effective on the distant field. Come join your brothers and sisters for a fun and busy day at CenterFest 2004!
