Abbotsford-Monthly
We
meet on the SECOND Saturday of every month to show God's
love in practical ways in our city. Anyone is free to
come. We meet at 10:30 am at the gravel parking lot between
the Library and City Hall (Tretheway entrance). This monthly
event is sponsored by a local church - Abbotsford Vineyard.
(If
you're a church doing another Love Abbotsford outreach,
let us know about
it! Also let us know if there's room for more to join
you!)
Some
Typical LA-M Projects
(Call
or email
to find out which projects are being offered on any particular
Saturday.)
Hot
Dog Give-away
We set up shop at a strip mall in Abbotsford
and hand out free hot dogs and drinks.
Hot
Chocolate or Coke Give-away
We set up at an intersection or at sporting events
and hand out hundreds of drinks for free!
Flower
Give-away
Great one for families with small children! We
hand out cut flowers to people anywhere.
Free
Car Wash
If the weather is favourable, we sometimes wash
cars for free--no donations accepted! That always gets
people. Why are we doing it, if we're not raising money
for something? Well, we're just letting people know that
God loves them, and that his love is free.
What
Do We Say?
Here
are a few simple responses for when someone asks why we're
doing this.
We're
just trying to show God's love in a practical way.
It's
free to show you that God's love is free!
We
think if Jesus were here today, this is something he
would be doing.
We
are not about "marketing" our church. We give a card so
they have a place to connect if they desire, but our goal
is to present Christ in a tangible way--expressing grace,
love and mercy.
