Try This: Host a Movie Night During Memorial Day Weekend

Use the long weekend to your advantage—throw a movie night! Weather permitting, set up a “theater” outdoors with a big screen and a free concessions table with popcorn and soda. Encourage families to bring their own blankets or lawn chairs and invite neighbors and family. Movie night can also be done inside a gym or large room depending on intended crowd size. Use the event to kick off a sermon series on the movie’s theme—announce the series before people leave and invite them to church the following Sunday.
