It is time to mark your calendars and make plans to participate in the 2010 River Fest outreach. Our outreach will be from May 13th to 15th. We will have street evangelists here to work with you and to help train our church members. Walking with Power will return this year for our main event and will be with us on the street to share the Gospel. We also plan on having a booth that will stamp horse shoes with John 3:16 and personalize it for each person while they share the Gospel. Our Cowboy church and our Equestrian ministries will be involved in this outreach. We also need face painters and other help with the block party equipment. We also welcome any praise and worship team/band that would like to provide music before the main event.
As I mentioned last month, we would like to have more participation this year from our churches and would like to see all of our church members get involved with the block party and/or street witnessing. We will be sending out signup sheets soon for the block party, music groups and street witnessing.
For River Fest 2009, we had the best participation from our churches that we have ever had and our prayer is to have even more participate this year. Please contact me if you have any questions or if you have any ideas that would help make this event a great success.
