Picture
Wouldn’t it be great if our city could get a little better picture of just how much, and how many, are the ways that believers in Jesus bless us through their volunteering time, talents and money to help others. And wouldn’t it be fun to provide a place where these folks and their ministries could tell us all about it, and invite others to join in and help? That’s the idea for the Ministries Fair.
In the Ministries Fair part of it, the ministries of Regina will be able to have stands set up to tell people about the ways they serve in Regina, and to share, inform, invite, pray, etc. It will be a fair-like atmosphere in Victoria Park with games and activities for the children and free food for everyone!  We want to invite you to distribute this information and application form to interested ministries that your people are part of. There may be a small fee for participation, to cover rental of standardized booths for ministries.
  1. Local. This event is designed to share with our city what is happening here in Regina, so we are not at this time inviting participation from the many wonderful ministries that serve across the nation and the world.
  2. Public. This event is for ministries who serve a sector of the city at large, that is, they are not “in-house” ministries of particular congregations.
  3. Serving. This event is for ministries that deliver actual services to people, and not for advocacy groups for particular causes, as worthy as we may find them.
  4. Faith-based. All invited ministries shall show, either by history, constitution or participation, a commitment to serve in the name of Jesus Christ.
  5. Respectful. Not all Jesus-following, serving ministries agree in all points together on how best to serve people in his name, so respect for each other is central.
  6. Not-for-Profit. Many Christians earn a living running excellent ministries, but this can’t be a business fair, so only not-for-profit agencies and ministries can participate.
  7. Present. Ministries will be expected to have a staffed stand/booth/table from the beginning of the fair till its close, which is now projected to be about 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Perhaps they could stay longer if desired, but a minimum time commitment is needed, so that attendees can be sure they will have a fair to go to!
