Matchbook Servant Evangelism


At New Season we really believe in servant evangelism as a practical way to share God's love in the community. That is why we are doing Matchbook Servant Evangelism this week.


We have purchased some matchbooks emblazoned with our church's logo. Under our logo on the front of the matchbook it says: "God loves smokers and so do we! New Season United Methodist Church...A New Kind of Church." Under that it has our website and says "A brand new church in Massaponax."


On the back of the matchbook is the following message "New Season Church is a church if imperfect people who make mistakes- there are no perfect people allowed. Yet, even as we make mistakes, God loves us. And, God loves you too! Come and find out more- you will be glad you did."


We are delivering boxes (about 24 matchbooks) to area bars in our mission field. We are asking the bartenders to give these out when patrons ask for a light. This is just another way to share God's love in a practical way.
