PC(USA) - Ideas! For Church Leaders


	We Get Mail Dear ideas!: I am an elder who is interested in expanding the use of the church facilities. I would like suggestions on ways to open the church for community use and service when it would normally be closed—which, like most churches, is most of the week. I am looking for suggestions, such as having a lecture about hosting the homeless as I saw in one of your previous articles. We are a rural/suburban church. I would like us to become more integrated into our surrounding community. Thanks.
