Save The Date  Out of the Box Idea(Creative ideas to help churches reach their communities) It is pretty common for pastors and staff to carry business cards they can share with people in the community. Many outward focused churches carry it a step further and provide cards for every church member to use to invite people to church. These “invite” cards can be as simple as the church name with its website, phone number, and service times printed on it. Some will even list bible verses (the Roman Road) on the back. They can be printed very cheaply, making it affordable for every church. Resource of the Week  Your CRBA has meeting rooms available for CRBA Churches.

These are boys and girls who have been praying for their forever families and have yet to be adopted within their home country or by a family internationally. You will have the support of Christian Adoption Services as well as area churches during these four weeks. You do not have to be ready to adopt in order to be a host family. You simply need to have the heart for what God wants to do through international adoption.Click Here for more information and a video. |
