u kno wat? we r doin the same thing for our chruch! only because we r biulding a new one tho.
we had his idea to do a car wash to help raise money, u rent this place out by walmart and just wash cars...
another idea is likk an outdoor barbuecue thingy.
u charge people to go and u charge people for food, u have games and all that good stuff and u can really get alot of money.

but if u just wanna have fun wif ur chruch then plan out a day in cool waters, or somthing

God bless

I GOT GREAT IDEAs...
over the summer have everyone come mondays, wednesdays, and thursdays for church ... like you pray in the beginning then they get to hang out and do watever then you can pray and everyne leaves...

you could do tournaments...

you could hold fieldtrips, camps, or conventions... do bible stuides every week.... make 5 groups or kids and have them learn something and present it in a way like a play or a poem or something... bible quizzes with prizes

hope ive helped...

In St. Mark's In Toronto we do a "coptic festival" around the time of nairuz. We make a festival on the church grounds.

1. FOOD
We all know egys can't live without food, so make food tables and CHARGE!! ;D

2. GAMES
All children love games. They pay money and get tickets and according to the game they want to play they give tickets.

3. Shows
We have shows and plays and tours of our coptic museum, which really attracts people that aren't even egyptian to check it out.

4. DONATIONS
Ask for donations!! no shame there!

5. Others
5.1 people bring stuff like jewelry and stuff and sell it. IO think that they give some money to the church ( they have to be from your church, people you know and trust, of course)
5.2 Candy Stands
5.3 COtton Candy
5.4 Sno-cones

Be creative!! It always turns out great! Other churches and other cultures come and check it out. Its always a blast!!!!!!
* It's for 3 days (friday saturday and sunday)

FUNNY STORY: last one we had, we were selling ducks - the yellow ones- ?? they were sooooo cute!!


GOD BLESS AND GOOD LUCK
