Pending the approval of a county permit we will have our first Sunday at our new location- Lee Hill Elementary School. Here are some things we are doing to raise awareness about our move in the community.
· We will pray, and pray and pray for the God who can do more than we can even ask or imagine to great things in this move.
· We will encourage one another to blab to all who will listen in our circles of friends, and amongst our relatives, neighbors, and co-workers and invite, invite, invite.
· We will gather to put out 1,000 door hangers at various townhouse developments surrounding the school. As we do so we will be praying for the persons in those developments.
· During February, before Easter and before Mother’s Day we will be mailing out 5,000 invitational postcards to our neighbors in the areas surrounding Lee Hill.
· We will be sending letters to the 1,000 or so persons identified by the “Phones for You Campaign” to inform them of our move and invite them to join us.
· For the six weeks after our move we will place special ads in the Free Lance Star (1 every two weeks) to announce our move and invite persons to join us.
· We will begin running our weekly “New United Methodist Church forming in Massaponax” ad in the Saturday religious section of the Free Lance Star to reach the United Methodists that move to our area.
· We will launch our redesigned website recognizing that for most people seeking a church in our day the first step they will take is to find more information on the web. We want to make a good impression.
· We will begin running monthly ads in the Lee Hill Crier newsletter (the newsletter of the Lee Hill Subdivision).
· We will be obtaining the services of Reaching America. This service identifies new home owners in our mission field and send on our behalf three personalized postcards from New Season Church in the first three weeks to our newest neighbors. We will be asking regular attendees at New Season to volunteer as neighborhood captains and deliver new neighbor bags to these neighbors.
· We have obtained 100 yard signs that will be strategically placed at the entrances/exits of subdivision, at intersections and in retail areas that say New Season Church- Sundays- 10:00 a.m.- Lee Hill Elementary School-www.NewSeasonUMC.org.
