POPSICLE GIVEAWAY
Summers are a great time for outdoor types of ministries. One great idea is for your bible study class or church group to handout free popsicles to those in outdoor spaces such as a park or sporting event. Be sure to include an invite card inviting everyone to your church the following Sunday.

 Local Mission Opportunity
