I agree with your basic view on the matter. What might be some of the practical ways we could flesh this out?
Backdrop:
We (my local church) as an "OutReach Committee" seek to engage with the local public in our rural setting by hosting a Thanksgiving Service, and a Christmas Service to invite the local community to at least get some contact with the Gospel. There is also a Trade Show that we set up a booth and had out tracts about Christianity. Each summer we host a "Yard Sale" where local people can rent a table and sell their stuff. We provide refreshment and some live music entertainment.
We "fished all night but caught nothing" is how some feel about our efforts. We wonder how other churches are doing in this kind of endeavour.
For me it appears to be mainly a "committee" project and the last couple of years has been difficult to get volunteers.
