I've had several people ask me how it went on Sunday so I thought I would blog about it. SCC had their Open House on Sunday. This is the first time they had a Business Expo in the Welsch Center. There were probably 20 vendors that had tables set up. Several of the businesses and churches in Milford were there just to let current and prospective students aware of their services.
Bellwood was fortunate to be right beside Pizza Kitchen. Of course, they were giving away free pizza and we had homemade cookies to finish it off! It was a perfect location! We had a lot of traffic at our booth because we had a drawing for some give-aways: A $50 gift card to Best Buy, $25 gifts card to Casey's and a $25 gift card to Mini Mart. We simply asked the students to answer a 10 question survey so we might know what their needs are and how we could help to meet some of those. Everyone was happy to fill it out. I think we ended up with about 75 completed surveys.
Some of the questions were things like:
Would you need laundry services, transportation, overnight lodging in bad weather? Would you like a monthly home-cooked meal, a care basket of goodies? Would you be interested in a Saturday night Bible study or worship service? (Brenda Burkey came up with some great questions!) She will tally the results and then let us know how we can reach out to the students.
I am excited to see how God might be at work through all of this. Thanks to everyone who asked about this and especially to everyone who was in prayer about this. Keep praying!!
