Family fun day, the outreach the day after the first youth movie marathon. The posters were passed out and it invited the community to come out. It was a outreach to the community but at the same time the Samoan youth stayed and helped and I was very happy to see that. We worked together as the body of Christ.
The event had a bouncy house, which I had to be the mature adult and watch over, popcorn, face painting, cotton candy (candy floss) and sausages. The teen leaders created games for all the kids and I was glad to see them standing up and reaching out. As I was watching over the bouncy house because I signed my name to the person who delivered it. I felt it was my responsibility to watch over it. A few kids got rough and one mother went after them. The tough part was not watching the kids going in but the young teens wanting in.
A rough guesstimation the Church outreach brought in over 100 people from the community. It was good to see so many people from Takanini. After a certain time everyone was brought in and we all watched the play the youth put on. They worked on it Friday night. The theme of the story Noah's ark. The children whom got their faces painted were the animals in the play (it was all the kids). It was a funny to watch and see the kids getting into the story. Some kids it was their first time in Church.
The outreach was successful. It helped people in the community know about the Takanini Church of the Nazarene. A Church that is changing to help the community, to be a missional Church.
