The Methodist Day of Outreach 2026 saw churches meet with people in their communities, have a collective experience of awe and wonder, and practise authentic faith-sharing, as thousands of people attended solar eclipse viewing events hosted by Methodists.
The eclipse may have passed, but there is still more you can do!
Share your feedback
If you hosted or participated in an event, we would love to get some feedback from you! Both so we can share and be encouraged by what God is doing, and so we can evaluate the initiative as a whole and make decisions for the future.
There are two feedback forms – one for organisers (which one person involved in setting up the event should fill in) and one for participants (which any number of people who were involved can complete). Please fill these in and share them around with relevant people. The more feedback we get, the better.
Reflect on your outreach
If something is worth doing, it's worth evaluating! Use this short guide to help you celebrate and learn from your eclipse event, and discern what comes next.
Host an On The Way Course
If you engaged lots of new people at your event, or deepened relationships with existing contacts, now might be a great time to invite those people to explore more about the Christian faith.
Rooted in A Methodist Way of Life, On The Way offers a gentle but thoughtful journey through some of the big ideas, practices and questions of faith. It is designed to be welcoming, flexible and adaptable for a wide range of settings.
Continue to use existing resources
Many of the resources and guidance produced for the eclipse may be useful for other pieces of outreach, so feel free to use them again. If you are looking for further outreach ideas, you can also check out our festivals and events guides.
