As a church, we try to connect with people during downtown events. With St. Patricks Day approaching, we have an opportunity to connect with people as they attend the parade on Saturday, March 15, 2014.
One of the things we would like to do is make silly balloon hats and animals for people as we hand them a card about where we are. (And we plan to stand near our door so we can point people to where we meet.) As much as I love tying balloons, I will need some help to make it a success. They are surprisingly easy to learn to make. We will have a “clown college” course: Balloon Tying 101 & Silly Leprechaun Hats on Sunday, March 2 after the main worship gathering. It will only take about 15-20 minutes to learn to make hats and animals. If you find you can’t quite get the hang of it, you could help the day of the parade by filling balloons for those who tie them.
We have a few other ideas about how to connect with people, but are still open to ideas. If you have some ideas or are interested in learning more or helping out, contact me (Jeff).
If you can take a minute to RSVP, it will help me plan for balloon making supplies and to gauge interest. You can RSVP by commenting below or clicking on the event in our online community by logging in here.
