Hello, I am new to the forum and I really like it. So first of all hello! I am a minister in Central PA and I have a question?

Are your churches doing anything to try and reach the lost through outdoor events? Our church hosts an annual achery shoot and a wild game dinner. The archery shoot has been a great success, but the wild game dinner has not done too well. What are you all doing of anything?

It's not what your church is doing.........It's, what youare doing for your church?

I also attend a church like bro.Motor.

Rebel, I don't understand your reply as I told you what I am doing for the church. I am looking for more Ideas of things to do, to try and reach out to outdoorsman that may not have a church home.I don'y just attend church, I belong to the church. The church is the people and I am part of the body of Christ trying to reach those who have not made that decision.

AndI think it is more of what is "God doing through you for your Church?"

No offence meant bro.Wes! Our young pepolehave many activities at church, but have to have a good attendance in Sunday school to be able to paticipate inthe special activities. We have an acadamy from K-1 thru 12th grade and run 7 youth buses on Sundays, so you see we have many youths in our church.
