The Appalachian Lutheran League is launching a new opportunity:

The Festival & Fair Grant

• Set up a booth
• Hand out materials

Simple.

Faithful.

Effective.

Why This Matters

Jesus didn’t wait in a building.

He went to:

• Roads
• Homes
• Markets
• Crowds

He met people where they already were.

So should we.

What Could This Look Like?

• A table with a banner
• Friendly faces
• Simple handouts
• A warm invitation

Not complicated.

Just present.

Just faithful.

What If…

What if one conversation led to:

• A baptism?
• A family returning to church?
• A hurting person finding hope?

Would it be worth it?

Of course it would.
