Donut Sunday: Inspiring Everyone for Outreach

This donut-themed all-age service aims to inspire the whole church family to enjoy and be excited by sharing the gospel. We hope that the repeated phrase “Do-nut forget to share the good news of Jesus” will mean that in the future, whenever people eat a donut they will remember this service!

This service could be used at the beginning of a year so that families can start to pray for their friends, think about how to share their lives meaningfully and talk naturally about their faith. This thought and prayer process can then happen well in advance of any future visitor-friendly / community / outreach events.

Where are we going? In this passage from 1 Thessalonians, we see how Paul shared the love of Jesus with his readers through his words and by sharing his life with them. His example encourages us to do the same, showing Christ’s love to those around us by our actions and looking for opportunities to speak God’s words. Paul reminds us that, though this may be hard, it is worth it because we will enjoy a great and joyful treasure – friends who trust Jesus eternally.
