EASTER OUTREACH
This year, Easter will be celebrated on April 24
th
. On that day,God will prompt millions of people around the world to attend church. For some reason, people who don’t normally go to churchwill make a decision to do so on that day like no other time of theyear. What can you do?
Invite Your Friends
– Would you consider inviting your un-churched family and friends to church this Easter? They are allmore likely to say “yes” to an Easter invitation than at any othertime of the year. Hands down, personal invitation is the numberone evangelism tool in the church. Would you commit to invite atleast three un-churched friends and/or family members and let usknow on your Connection Card so that we can plan and pray?
Prayer
– If you are hesitant to invite people you know to church,you can begin by taking the less-intimidating step of praying foryour friends and the church during our Easter outreach. Wouldyou commit to pray daily for your un-churched family & friendsand let us know on your Connection Cards?
Easter Activities –
You and your guests are invited to a special
pancake breakfast
on Easter morning from 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM.Our morning worship service will be held at 10:30 AM and therewill be no Sunday School that day. We will also have
specialoutreach gifts
as a way of saying “thank you” to our guests thatday.
Special Sermon Series –
