Churches help local public schools in a variety of ways

Churches increase their reach and influence in the community when they help out their local schools.

This article sorts through all the statistics on what kind of church is more prone to help their local school. The stats show  that we are in the minority. We are a small Southern Baptist congregation that helps our school through backpack drives (and I would argue, by hosting InterServe and serving as an engaging bus stop). 

I was more facinated by the ways that churches help their schools. Some engage in beautification projects (painting, for example), others sponsor appreciation gifts to teachers. I think we can certainly do the latter!

Help me think of ways we can be a blessing to Lafayette High School this year! God has put a high school right on our front porch. Let's be faithful and creative in reaching out to the school. 

I'll start off:  What if we show up in force for football and basketball games?  All of us wearing matching shirts that proclaim our church's support for Lafayette athletics?  What a great way to engage parents!!

Let me know by dropping me an e-mail at contact.sojournchurch@gmail.com!
