Bake and Deliver Pies to Church Guests
Individuals from your congregation bake and deliver a pie or other baked goods to persons who have visited your church.
BEST SUITED FOR: Any Size Congregation
WHAT'S INVOLVED?
 | Keep it simple. |
| Have five people on a committee to bake and deliver pies to visitors. Rotate through the five. If anyone is unable to bake on a particular week, go on to the next. |
| Visitors appreciate the pie and the visit. |
DO'S AND DON'TS
| DO......call the visitor to arrange a time. Tell them you have a pie for them. |
| DON'T......stay long. Thank them for coming to church and invite them to return and present them with the pie. |
RESOURCES NEEDED
| Individuals willing to bake and deliver pies. It's usually 1-3 pies a week for the committee. |
COST: Pie, paid for by the individuals doing the baking.

Or consider an alternative idea:
Delivering baked goods to guests is so widely practiced in some communities that unchurched folks may consider it a "church gimmick"! If that is the case in your community, consider taking an alternative gift.
It is best if the gift is:
| Relatively inexpensive . . . but certainly not cheap or a "trinket" |
| Something that is representative of your congregation (as baked goods might be for some congregations) |
| Informative, including your church logo, location, phone number, and web site address. |
| Something the person will find useful, thus enhancing its ability to regularly remind the person of your church - a water bottle, for example. |
