Now that sounds like a real church, if they do this regularly, JanesOpinion.

Sounds like an interesting plan

Actually, archiew, my church does just that.
It's sort of a mega church -- about 5,000 members give or take a few -- and they have multiple outreach programs going in their area.  Their goal is to "reach Holland (MI) and beyond . . ." and they have multiple practical methods of doing so.  Recently, the church and over 1000 members went out, spent a Saturday volunteering throughout the community.  They hope to do this once a year, but also hope to have the many small groups reaching out on a regular basis throughout the year.  I'm excited about their plans!
