NEXT STEPS THIS WEEK: Invite a friend to Friends Day
We have only 6 more days left until Friends Day. I want to encourage you this week to invite all of your un-churched friends and family to Friends Day. Check out this DID YOU KNOW:
DID YOU KNOW: Building relationships in a Christian community is a strong motivator for coming to church. Thirty-two percent of those surveyed want to “be around those with similar values” and 31 percent would consider returning to church “to make friends.” Finally, a similar number would return “to make a difference/help others” (30 percent) in their community.
Recently I found some statistics about Americans and invitations to church. Take a close look at #1 and let this motivate us all to invite people to Clearview on Friends Day.
1. Over half of Americans say they would visit a church if they receive a personal invitation from a family member, friend or neighbor.
2. The latest LifeWay Research survey found that people are most willing to hear about a local congregation through a family member (63 percent) and through a friend or neighbor from the church (56 percent)
3. According to one survey, 48 percent of Americans are willing to receive information about a local congregation through an informative ad in the newspaper, 46 percent are willing through an outdoor sign or billboard, and 45 percent are willing through letters mailed to the home.
All this news should be great motivation to invite people THIS SUNDAY. The bible says “God has set eternity in the hearts of men”. God is already doing the work for us. We just have to capitalize on His leading.
One way you can invite people is by using our website and the Invite a Friend page to invite a friend by email. You can check it out here.
I will see you Sunday and I am looking forward to God doing great things.
Sincerely,
Rob
P.S. – I have included a funny video below on how NOT to invite people to church. Enjoy!
