Help needed with raising awareness for/running a highschool Christian students club?

This year I became the Vice President of the Fellowship of Christian Students club at my high school. The problem is, this was never a club that attracted much attention or had very many members (probably 15 come to our weekly meetings on a good day). I want to raise awareness for the club, any good attention-getting ideas besides the normal posters or morning announcements?

Also, the vision I (and the president) had for this club was to be one of outreach - such as doing community service. Any suggestions on where we could go for that, or creative outreach ideas? I'm just looking for inspiration because I really feel like God's put it on my heart to do something with this club but I'm frustrated by my lack of own ideas.

Thank you!

    Does your high school have a newspaper? If yes try to convince a student who helps publish the paper to plug your club.

    Community service? How about picking up the garbage people throw out their car windows.

    If God left you a note and it read, Tonight at 9:30 P.M. your going to die. How would you spend your day?

    Your driving home after school, you text your buddy, as you look up you run into a stopped truck and die. When you open your eyes where will you be? How that for getting someone attention? Your 1 heart beat from finding out. If you would like to find out for sure join us at the Fellowship of Christian Students club.

    Ask around at local churches to find out how to locate and contact similar clubs at other schools, then contact them for ideas that have worked for them.

    If you are already putting up posters, try encouraging people who go to your club of different churches to ask their friends at church to join in.

    If you have 15 students going to several different churches, you could easily get them to bring some of their own church friends, and then you can get them to invite their own friends etc. and you keep growing...
