It very important for our Churches to get their people involved in the church in some way. Having Church activities has many benefits such as: outreach to new people, retention of members, excitement, and a strong fellowship to name a few. I want to list a few activities which helps accomplish the above. There are many more not listed here. If you have had a fun activity and would like to share, please email me at Bob.L@magnificent.com
