This summer there have been two events at our premier Kettering Skate Park. DC shoes and a MTV Reality Show was sponsoring one event that drew hundreds of skaters to the park.
We decided to serve the crowds by providing ice cream. So we grabbed a few teens, a huge cooler, the ice cream, wooden spoons and our eye-popping connect card.
The teens went to the north, south, east west corner of the park and served the ice cream. It was a huge hit. The reality show film crew also were served. It was a great outreach. The buzz was buzzing.
Observation...Teens rather than adults doing the outreach was an instant connection. Questions like... Are you a skater? Why are you doing this? Who are you guys? What's up? Word. Were common. A great time showing God's love in a practical way.
Doing the outreach.
1. Purchase small cups of ice cream and wooden spoons from a local distributor
2. Grab some connect cards
3. Load frozen like a brick ice cream into a few coolers
4. Arrive at location
5. Announce we have free ice cream
6. Hand ice cream, wooden spoons, and connect card to skater
7. Have Big Fun
