Adopt a Nursing Home

Here's an idea - Adopt a Nursing Home, Retirement Home, or Assisted Living Facility.

We currently hold weekly Bible studies in 2 facilities but there are many others in St Tammany Parish.  Could your group start a Bible study in another facility?

One of our groups is having a fishing tournament at a facility - Is that COOL of what?

The aged are a growing and underserved community.  Can your group help serve it?

Dinner Party Club

Here's a fun idea - How about hosting dinner parties and sharing some fun, fellowship, and food with people you don't know so well.  What better way to establish a relationship than over good food.  Jesus did it and it seemed to work very well for Him.

You could do barbecues, crawfish boils, fish frys, tapas dinners, potlucks, mexican nights, italian nights, cajun nights, progressive dinner parties, and whatever else you might think of (e.g. gumbo mmmm).

What other ideas do you have?

Adopt a Neighborhood

Your group's members live in a neighborhood.
Why not adopt a neighborhood?

You could hold Bible studies in your life group members homes in those neighborhoods.
You could also throw a block party - our association has a block party trailer for you to use.

Love your neighbor as yourself!
