Missional Church meeting

Last night our Missional Church team met to debrief our July Fourth event and to make plans for future community outreach events. We all agreed that the popcorn and lemonade was a hit. The only thing we would do differently next time was to wear FBC tee shirts and start cooking the popcorn sooner. We may see about doing the popcorn again the next time there are fireworks.

We also decided that we would do winter survival kits again in some fashion next January. We will concentrate on personal hygiene items and the kind of things you can't buy with food stamps. We could do the blankets again if we can find a sponsor or two. We liked the way so many people got involved and made some blankets. They cost about $400 to make the fifty blankets.

After a lot of discussion we decided that we would start collecting gently used winter coats and sweaters to give away to folks living across the street in the Mopsic Street area. We thought we could give them away in mid to late October just before winter hits. The idea was sparked by Erica Corbett's clothing drive and we thought we could work with her.

We also decided we would do another goodie give away on September 13. We will be meeting on Wednesday, August 12 at 7:00 p.m. to decide the particulars.
