You will receive a lovingly baked and packed cookie as you leave the Worship Service today. Well, it is not for personal consumption! In line with Evangelism Sunday, each cookie is meant to be given to a relative, friend, neighbor or colleague. In the packet, besides the cookie there is a book mark with inspiring verses and also a short write up on the Alpha course. Please pray and ask God to reveal who you should give the cookie to. Use it as a conversation opener to share with them about church, and ultimately, the gospel.
You could introduce it in this way: “I went to church today and was told to give this cookie to bless someone, and I thought of you! Do you happen to attend church too? ……”. Use the conversation to invite this person to church or ask if you can invite him or her to future events held in church such as Alpha, Christmas, Easter etc. It may be useful to prepare a short sharing of your faith and testimony. Continue to pray for this person and let God surprise you!
Please share this experience with your cell group when you next meet. You can then encourage each other and build up your confidence in sharing the gospel.
Evangelism committee is always open to ideas on pre-evangelism and evangelism events held in a non-threatening environment. Do contribute your ideas and more importantly, give your cookies to your pre-believing friends and bring them along to church!
The Evangelism Committee is grateful to all the bakers and helpers who have sacrificed their time amidst their busy schedules to lovingly bake and pack the cookies. May God bless you all as you serve Him!
Note: The cookies have no preservatives and should not be kept for more than 5 days.
