Fall is in The Air

Here in South Louisiana about the only way we know Fall has arrived is because the calendar says so. The leaves don't change and cooler air usually just comes in spurts. However, this doesn't stop us from engaging in typical Fall activities like football and camping. Another Fall favorite our churches enjoy is to host a Fall Festival for their community. These either take the form of a Halloween alternative or a more traditional community event over the weekend. Regardless of what shape it takes, Fall Festivals are a great way for churches to meet their neighbors, build a positive relationship with the community, and share the Good News of Jesus Christ with the lost. As it stands right now, there will be around ten Fall Festivals in the New Orleans area this year and each church has their own spin on the event. In total, these events will impact a few thousand people from their respective communities, many who do not have a personal relationship with Jesus. Pray for these upcoming Fall Festivals and for those who will be attending. May Christ be lifted up and glorified during this season. I'll take Kingdom growth over cooler air any day.
