Easter Sunday Challenge: U invite 1

I just read Jay Hardwick's blogpost on inviting people to church on Easter--"Somebody invite somebody". I concur with his challenge to step out of your comfort zone and ask one person to come with you to an Easter service. This applies to your church too!

At Wooster Grace, I pray that God will be glorified as we see many people attend our services this weekend. We have five opportunities for you to invite someone to join you.

SAT Apr 23

• 6pm Contemporary Service (Childcare through age 5)

SUN Apr 24

• 8am & 10am Traditional Service in Worship Center (Childcare through Grade 4)
• 9am & 11am Contemporary Service in Family Life Center (Childcare through Grade 4)

The top three suggestions from Jay's list to use for inviting people to your church are (you can access his complete list from his blogpost):

1. Pray. Start praying for people by name asking God to bring them. Take a prayerwalk in your neighborhood pleading with God to give you courage to invite families to church on Easter Sunday. 
2. Use invite cards.  Display invite cards on your desk, workstation, or transaction counter. Keep a few in your wallet or purse to hand out when you get the Holy Spirit prompting you to invite someone.
3. Talk about Easter on Twitter, Facebook, and in conversations. "Aim for at least one status update per day that would include an invite to Easter" services. Jay hits this one out of the park!

So there you go. Now it's up to you.

I wonder if you'll commit to all three things and invite people to church on Easter Sunday. Please share your experiences. I'd love to hear what you discover. And give a shout out or leave a comment on Jay Hardwick's blog too.
