Last Week’s Record
Neighbors Night: Use this night to invite your neighbors over and get to know them. Grill hot dogs, play yard games, and visit, but most of all use this night to build a relationships with your neighbors where you can invite them to church and share the gospel. Friends Night: Is there someone you’ve been wanting to get to know better at work, your kid’s ball team, or from church? Use Friends Night to go to dinner with them or invite them over. Develop a relationship that will strengthen your faith or open up gospel conversations. Mission Night: Use this night to do a mission project as a family. Take cookies to the firehouse, help a neighbor, serve a local non-profit...whatever you do serve together to serve others to connect them to Jesus.
All of the above are listed on Central’s website: conwaycentralchurch/ssn17-ministry-nights
Sign up for the meal on the back of the Connection Card or call the church office BEFORE noon on Tuesday.
