RECAPS OF THE DAY!

PROJECT #1: THANKSGIVING FIXINS' PACKAGES

We had a group of over 30 adults and kids help us assemble Fixins' packages! Each package had enough food to feed a family of 6 or more and over $50 groceries. 

Our team assembled 30 packages. We broke into teams of two or three, and each team assembled three packages. The kids helped out as they collected the food, and then made hand-traced turkey cards for some of the packages.

So far, we have 12 packages that are going to a person or family this week. We have extras that will be available on Sunday morning. We will be donating the extra food to a local food pantry.

 

PROJECT #2: NEIGHBORHOOD LEAF RAKING

A few things come to mind when recapping this project: cold weather and a TON of leaves.

A team of about 30 met on Saturday morning at the Hilton and then broke into three teams to tackle the yards for the day. We ended up raking seven front yards of Independence neighbors, and filled about 150 lawn bags! Our 16-foot Budget rental truck was packed from the ceiling to the floor of bagged leaves. 

Great conversations came from the kids, students and adults working together, and we were able to meet several homeowners who were so appreciative of our help. 

A special thanks to Mr. Moran who let us dump all of the leaves on his land in Lone Jack!

 

PROJECT #3: MISSIONAL VIDEO

A team of about 10 met Saturday morning to capture the vision of missional living at The Avenue, and brainstorm ways to show this through skits and videos.

The team brainstormed and discussed several great ideas and made progress for communicating the heart of The Avenue for weeks and years to come!

Every few months, we rally the troops and invade our community together. We plan several projects that help us meet the people in our community, give encouragement to those who have existing relationships, and create opportunities for everyone in the church to be missional! Some of the project ideas include:

  • Hosting free music lessons
  • House cleanups
  • Assembling cookie mixes for Avenue families and giving them a list of how to be missional with the cookies they bake
  • Taking special gifts to nursing home workers
  • Making blankets for homeless people
  • Coat drives at the end of school
  • Back to School baskets for teachers
  • Neighborhood leaf raking

What makes each project we do missional is that we either have an existing relationship with the people we are serving, or we are engaged in an activity that is opening up doors to new relationships. Our projects help teach others how to be missional and empower others in the church.

Have some ideas?

We are ALWAYS on the lookout for missional project ideas!

Do you have a missional relationship with someone who has a need we can help with? Please submit the need and we'll be in touch with you!! Just put "Missional Need" in the subject line of the contact us form.

Maybe you don't know anyone with a need, but you have an idea of a missional project. Please submit your ideas here, with "Missional Idea" in the subject line of the contact us form.

As a new church, our vision is to prioritize church planting. We partner with other like-minded churches in the area who also have a heart for starting new churches.

We commit 10% of our budget to help start new churches in this area. We're talking serious business about this stuff. It's one of our core values, and has driven the way we've set up our church.
