NOC 2006 . . . National Outreach Convention

The national outreach convention has come and gone. Three days in gorgeous San Dieago. Lots of vendors with good outreach stuff/ideas. Classes that fire you up and make you want to slap yourself for not thinking of the idea sooner. No heavy theolgy to contend with, just practical ideas how to get people to Jesus for the first time or to learn to share him.
Good ideas . . . The Nativity Story will be coming to a theater near you, why not get excited about it and bring friends to see it and then invite them to church.
Publish a book with the great stories of transformation from you congregation. We will be work on this in the near future. Work on your stories now, be ready.
Comedy night! Christian Comedians come to the church to put on a show, we invite people who want to come and laugh. Many other great ideas were shared by those attending. It was good to be involved in the convention and to learn so much more about outreach.
