Easter is right around the corner. Did you know that people are more open to visit a church on Easter than any other day of the year? Did you know that most of the people currently attending Stevens Creek Church first attended because someone invited them. Postcards, road signs, and websites are all useful tools, but NOTHING replaces a personal invitation. And one of the best ways to invite people to church is by giving someone an Invite card. Here’s some tips for how to use a card.
- Hand them to people you meet and say “I’d love to invite you to my church.”
- Give them out in drive thru lanes.
- Put a stack at your office, store or place of work.
- Ask if you can set a stack out in a business that you frequent.
- Give them to neighbors, friends and co-workers.
- Leave them on tables at restaurants to invite your server.
- Make a list of five people and go seek them out.
- Ask God to give you an opportunity to give them out.
- Give them out in the lunchroom or before class begins.
- Keep a few in your wallet, purse or car.
What could be more important than sharing the Good News, spreading the Gospel and inviting people to follow Jesus? Use this simple tool to invite people to church. Maybe that simple act will be the thing that tips the scales.
You can pick up Invite Cards at the Creek on Sunday, Wednesday night, and/or any day Mon-Thurs at the office.
This post was inspired and taken from Michael Lukeshewski. He pastors an incredible church in Cartersville, GA called Oak Leaf Church. Thanks Michael.
I travel from Florida monthly to visit my sister and when I am here, we always come to the 10am service. Kevin, today was a very touching sermon…thank you for that. I wanted to share with you something that really hit home for me…you talked about on Sundays in church we are a church gathered, and out of church we are a church scattered. I loved that reference and plan to share it with friends at my church. It is always so refreshing to visit your church. Thank you for being such an open family for me to share with while I am visiting. God Bless!
