Fall Festival Outreach

Even small churches have the opportunity to reach hundreds and even thousands of people with a Fall Festival. These festivals are a great way to touch your community with the love of Christ.

1. Remind all the volunteers to be warm and friendly. Remind them to show the love of Christ in all they do. Sometimes people can be challenging. Prepare your volunteers.
2. Saturate every part of your festival with prayer. God wants to partner with you to help you impact your city with the love of Christ. Ask Him to help you. Ask Him to love the people that attend through your volunteers.
3. Include the gospel. Now I understand there are pros and cons on this one, but you can plant seeds without shoving it down their throats. In the concession area have live music or at the very least gospel music playing. Some of your booths could present a short gospel presentation. A costumed character or clown could do a short drawing out of “Picture Perfect” with a gospel message or any one of the magic tricks with a gospel message. You may want to add two or three booths that will have a gospel message. If you have more than one, be sure they have a common theme. Your puppet team could perform Righteous Pop Music Volume 3  ”Broadway”. This song goes through the entire plan of Salvation. Or use one of the contemporary sounds from Apologetix to reach your audience.
4. Offer the festival free to the people that attend or at the very least make as many things free as you possibly can.
5. Be very organized. The registration booth or entrance area should be easy to find and the information clear and concise. You want your guest to begin their visit with a positive experience. Do you have enough bathrooms to accommodate the large crowds?
6. Think through every part of their visit. Parking can be a nightmare if it is not well planned and executed. Be sure the traffic flow through your booths is smooth and well thought out.
7. Some churches give out a ticket that becomes their punch card. The tickets are ½ page cardstock. These tickets are laid out in blocks with the name of each booth and concession on a block. When a guest visits a booth they get their ticket stamped or punched. This limits the number of visits to the booths and concessions to one per guest.
8. Include a children’s tract and a small information card about the children’s program at your church. I always had a “Free” card that was put in their goody bag for some special treat the following Sunday if they attend the children’s service. Cotton candy, popcorn or small trinkets will often motivate children to come back on Sunday for a visit. If you offer a freebie be sure your program is exciting enough that they will want to come back after visiting you.
