Who
Will You Invite to Church?
Think of a name. Any name. A friend, a relative, or a
co-worker. When was the last time that person visited a church? Maybe they
haven't been to church in a long time. Maybe they've never gone to church.
Have you ever thought about asking that person to come with
you to church? Here's your chance. Middle River Assembly of God is planning a special Back to
Church Sunday service on September 20 that's dedicated to welcoming friends and
family to worship with us.
By participating in this special event, we'll join thousands
of other churches across America to invite guests to hear about God's love.
Last year, over 26,100 churches participated and together gave out more than 7.5
million invitations to church! It's exciting to be part of such a huge
outreach.
So have you thought of someone you can invite? Don't worry
about feeling nervous. We all do. But remember that God has placed that person
in your life for a reason; He can give you the courage and the opportunity to
ask.
It’s not as hard as it may seem. Did you know that most
people who have dropped out of church haven’t lost their faith in God—they
simply fell out of the habit of going to church? Some moved, had a change in
life circumstances, or had a falling out with their former church and simply
drifted away. Most often, life just became too busy. This means many of them are
open to returning to church.
Will you commit to praying for our church as we prepare for
Back to Church Sunday? And will you pray for that person God has placed on your
heart? Let's see what He can do!
Here's the information you need to know: Our Back to Church
Sunday event is Sunday, September 20. Middle River Assembly of God meets at 11:00 every Sunday. We’ll also have a special program in the children’s ministry, and
will have many ways for visitors and members alike to connect with each other that Sunday as we gather for a church picnic after the service.
