Gospel Outreach at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cincinnati

This March, we’re stepping into one of the most open and effective venues for evangelism — a parade. The Cincinnati St. Patrick’s Day Parade draws thousands into the streets, many from Catholic backgrounds who love St. Patrick but may not yet know the biblical gospel he preached.

Parades are one of the easiest places to share the gospel. People are relaxed, approachable, and already gathered. A simple smile, a friendly greeting, and a gospel tract can open doors the Lord uses mightily (Colossians 4:5–6).

If you’re new to handing out tracts or just want encouragement, there’s a helpful segment from Way of the Master on giving out gospel tracts at a parade with wisdom and love. It’s a great reminder that boldness and kindness go hand in hand (2 Timothy 1:7).

What We’ll Do

• Meet on March 14th at 11:00 AM to pray and review logistics
• Walk the parade route together handing out gospel tracts and ge
• Walk the parade route together handing out gospel tracts and engage in Christ-centered gospel conversations
• The parade floats begin moving at 12:00 PM. When the floats catch up to us we’ll stop distribution.

We’ll be using the Saint Patrick gospel tract from Tomorrow’s Forefathers, which clearly explains the true gospel Patrick proclaimed — salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8–9).

You don’t need to be an experienced evangelist. You just need a willing heart. Jesus said, “Lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest” (John 4:35). Downtown Cincinnati will be full — and the harvest will be ready.

Come pray. Come share the good news. If you have questions or want to join us, just reach out.
