Sidewalk Talk

Each week during the school year I hang out on the sidewalk in front of our church as students from the nearby junior high school walk home. I hand out free sodas and snacks and have footballs or discs to play with. I spend the time getting to know the youth and inviting them to our youth events.

I have gotten to know so many youth in our community and it really has made people aware of our church. We have a number of youth attending events because of Sidewalk Talk.
