DESCRIPTION

To many, they are the rock, the constant support when times are tough when the pressure is on. They are there through the school years and are still there when you move out of the nest seeking all life has to offer. Better still, they are still there when we need someone to babysit the kids when we begin a family of our own or when the day is just, well, "one of those days," they are just a phone call away. Yes, mothers are very special people. So, have you ever thought about sharing the love of Jesus with the mothers in your community? There are many ways you can connect with the mothers around you and your church, take a look below and try some of these out!

Mums Ideas  to  Reach  

By  Greg  Pratt  

 

 

 

 

 

To  many,  they  are  the  rock,  the  constant  support  when  times  are  tough  when  the  pressure  is  on.  They  are  there  through  the  school  years  and  are  still  there  when  you  move  out  of  the  nest  seeking  all  life  has  to  offer.  Better  still,  they  are  still  there  when  we  need  someone  to  babysit  the  kids  when  we  begin  a  family  of  our  own  or  when  the  day  is  just,  well,  “one  of  those  days”,  they  are  just  a  phone  call  away.  Yes,  mums  are  very  special  people.  

So,  have  you  ever  thought  about  sharing  the  love  of  Jesus  with  the  mums  in  your  community?  There  are  many  ways  you  can  connect  with  the  mums  around  you  and  your  church,  take  a  look  below  and  try  some  of  these  out!  

 

• Give  away  Timeout  or  Boost  bars  along  with  a  connect  card.  Include  in  the  connect  card  something  along  the  lines  of,  this  is  our  way  to  say  thanks  for  what  you  do  as  a  mother.    

 

• Organise  a  Mother’s  day  morning  tea  in  your  street  or  at  your  church  inviting  all  mums  and  families  to  come  along.  These  are  great  ways  to  connect  and  build  relationships.  

 

• Serve  a  Mum  project  –  organise  the  children  in  your  church  to  serve  mums  in  the  community.  Be  sure  safe  procedures  are  followed,  but  this  could  include  weeding  and  cleaning  gardens,  painting  or  any  other  light  work  related  service.    

 

• Mums  Pamper  party  –  invite  all  the  mums  to  your  house  for  a  pamper  party.  You  might  know  a  hairdresser,  masseuse  while  other  mums  you  know  do  some  nail  filing  and  polish.  It  can  be  lots  of  fun  and  a  great  way  to  connect  with  the  mums  around  you!      

Mums Ideas  to  Reach  

• Mums  night  in  –  organise  a  movie  night  or  afternoon  for  the  Mums  in  your  street  or  around  you  church,  inviting  them  to  come  and  enjoy  a  Movie  on  you.      

• Purchase  some  shopping  vouchers  from  the  local  shopping  centre  and  deliver  to  the  mums  in  your  street  or  around  your  church  and  include  a  connect  card  about  having  some  retail  therapy  on  us!!  

 

• Organise  with  your  local  coffee  shop  to  give  away  free  coffee  on  you  or  your  church  for  a  certain  period  of  time.  You  will  be  surprised  what  effect  this  kind  gesture  can  have.    

 

• Make  muffins  and  take  to  Mums  in  your  street  along  with  a  hot  drink  satchel  and  connect  card  

 

• Go  to  the  doors  and  give  away  free  potted  flowers  e.g.  Geraniums  along  with  a  weather  proof  sign  (connect  card  of  who  it  is  from).  Alternatively  you  might  give  away  bulbs  and  offer  to  plant  them  for  the  home  owner  in  an  area  of  their  choice.  

 

 

NOTE:  Be  sure  to  include  connect  cards  with  any  outreach  event  you  may  do,  this  should  include  the  name,  address  and  phone  number  of  you  or  your  church.
