During the summer months, attendance at Mission Friends® often decreases because of preschoolers’ participation in seasonal activities and because many families take vacations during this time. Remind your preschoolers’ families that Mission Friends is still going strong every week at your church.
One way to remind your preschoolers’ families about Mission Friends is to make a fun summertime invitation using child-size flip flops!
-
Use child-size flip flops from a discount store or craft store, or use a paper outline of flip flops. You can download and print an outline here.
-
Write the invitation on a note to tie onto a strap, or write directly on the flip flops with a permanent fine-tip marker.
-
If using a paper outline, write the invitation inside the outline of the flip flops.
-
Write: Come for Summer Fun in Mission Friends!
-
Include the church name, day, time, ages, and room number of your Mission Friends.
-
Give the invitation to preschoolers who are guests at VBS, or give to preschoolers at a neighborhood playground.
