September Is Open House Month!

Get Ready for September Now!
Open Your Church Doors to Special Activities

Churches all over the country have embraced Open House Month as a time to especially reach out to their communities. Now's the time to make sure your church is ready. Check out the Open House section of the Igniting Ministry Web site for great ideas your church can use. 

Here's just one: National Neighborhood Day, Sunday, Sept. 12, a new initiative to help communities become better acquainted, is right in the middle of Open House Month. This is a great way to show our "open hearts, open minds, open doors" to the community. Download the "Open House Ideas" PDF, which suggests ways your church can be a good neighbor on this day.

For more information and ideas about getting involved in National Neighborhood Day, visit www.neighborhoodday.org

Whatever you do, be sure that your ideas and activities reflect the people of YOUR congregation. Have fun!
