Here is an idea.
Every fifth Sunday, your group is out in the community on a Sunday (say after the early service) or another day and reaches out to those in need by being there where they are and helping them.
Our sister church - Bridge Church - does this and here is a sample of some upcoming events:

Our sister church - Bridge Church - does this and here is a sample of some upcoming events:
1. Repairing a house damaged by Hurricane Isaac in Madisonville (LINK)
2. Another house damaged by Hurricane Isaac will need to be rewired & maybe replumbed due to age.
3. Wheelchair Ramp for a member of the Madisonville First Baptist Church.
4. Another wheelchair ramp project (LINK)
5. Family Day at area Work Releases.
In April, we're planning Family Day Block Parties at both of St. Tammany's work releases. We usually present certificates to any men that have completed courses. We also, like to do a craft with the kids. Something that presents the gospel ideally. Then we also give away Bibles, etc.
CHECK THIS MESSAGE OUT FROM PASTOR LANE CORLEY:
If you have any groups that would like to partner in this work, that'd be great. I'll let you know the exact dates, but they will be on Sunday afternoons in April. One of the work releases is in Covington, the other is in Slidell. These are non-violent, no sex offenders and 90% or so are local with release dates within 3 years. Many of their families are living & doing life around us. Great time to connect with them, serve them, invite them.
