Love The 239-Long Distance Ideas

On Sunday, May 30th, Turning Point Church will be serving our communities right here in SWFL. We are going to love the people in the 239!

For those of you who do not live here in the 239, but are a part of our church, here is our challenge to you.  Love the people right where you are!  We are going to cook up hot dogs and serve bottled waters and hit the streets of our community.  However, maybe that’s not necessarily what works where you live? No worries, you can still serve and still make a HUGE difference.

Here are some simple ideas that may work better in your area code and neighborhood?

• Bake some cookies and hand-deliver them to your neighbors. Maybe even take the time to have a brief conversation?

• Prep some care baskets (snacks, granola bars, bottled waters, etc.) and deliver them to first responders in your area.

• Stop by your local police and fire departments and offer them coffee and ask to pray with them as they serve your community.

• Go to your local soccer field where games are going on Sunday morning and walk through the crowds of parents to give away bottled waters. 

• Deliver flowers with some notes of kindness to those who live in a retirement community and don’t get the opportunity to leave or have visitors very often.

• How about some simple meal prep and delivery to people you know that are shut-ins or who could use some encouragement?

• If you have a great idea you want to share with us on what you might do, email us and let us know.

As you serve, please take a picture of you serving wherever you live and either tag Turning Point in your post or use the hashtag, #LoveThe239.
