Ideas for being the 'friendly church' outside the church walls

John Wesley, the father of Methodism, put it this way, “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”

What might happen if you:
• Asked your server at the restaurant if there were something you could be praying for as you pray before your meal?
• In the course of exercising by walking in your neighborhood, prayed for the households as you walked by?
• Issued a dinner invitation to a family in your neighborhood that you don’t know?
• Baked a batch of cookies and gave them to a shop owner, the postman, or others you may have occasion to meet?
• Looked for one opportunity each day to help someone in the name of Jesus?
