Tomorrow is the "Back to School Bash" here at WJACC. Last year we saw around 1500 people come through the church grounds and this year we are expecting even more than that! This year we are also seeing several of the larger churches in Jax do their own bash celebrations on the same day. All of this is getting me pumped up!!! Here's a few reasons why...
1) This is a focused outreach into the community to let them know we are here, we care, and we want to serve them with no strings attached! We are not charging anything. Just come, have a good time, take some school supplies, and even take home a new outfit for school.
2) This is an opportunity to pray for members of our neighborhood. We are going to hand out Bibles and offer to pray for anything and anyone that walks through the door. We are even setting things up so that we can take prayer requests anonymously.
3) I am excited to think of other churches doing the same thing. The more people reaching out the more the message of hope in Christ is getting out into a hopeless world. THAT IS AWESOME!!!
If you are around this weekend and want to help come on out Saturday. We'll find you a spot to slip in. The bash starts at 10am and runs 'til 4pm. We'll need help with set up and clean up too. This is huge but God is even bigger. Praise God!!!
