The purpose of Evangelism is telling the "Story" of God's love. The goal of the Evangelism Ministry Team is to get new people into worship and once they are here, keep them coming here. We strive to make every guest's Sunday morning visit to Bedford United Methodist Church an unforgettable experience.

Our activities include:

• Delivering a welcome gift (box of bread) to guest who are first time worship attenders.
• Plan & design events for the Bedford Fair Booth in concert with other United Methodist Churches in the Bedford county area.
• Develop and distribute a brochure about our church to local motels, restaurants, and grocery stores.
• Silent Spotters to befriend guest at worship.
• Puppet ministry.
• Invite-A-Friend Sunday, yearly and quarterly.
• Help decorate narthex for Christmas.

Opportunities for volunteering are to encourage hospitality, small group activities, youth & children, family ministries, and Silent Spotters.

The Team Leaders contact team members on an as needed basis as meetings are required for conducting ministry opportunities.

We encourage persons to attend Leadership University for Basic Lay Speaking courses and other training events for equipping Christians for ministry in our local situations. Courses are held at different locations in Central PA both spring and fall.
