While other groups went to do service projects we had a group stay at church. This worked out good because of stragglers that came to church on Sunday and didn’t know we cancelled services. Two different projects were at church. We had a group writing letters to military and then we had a group doing a free car wash and free hot dogs on the BBQ. People couldn’t believe we wouldn’t accept donations for the car wash or for the food. Having it at church was extra good pr as it was right onsite and people knew where we have our normal church service. They related it to the building which was good, even though we were trying to make a statement that its not about the building. But anyway, it was a great day.

Great idea about having a few groups at the church to catch the people who didnt know about the event!
I love that you didnt accept donations for the car wash or food as well! Our church did that once and it just blew people away! Once the word got out we had taxis and buses coming in!!! It really shows the community that you are about sharing Gods Love! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
