I don't know about you, but when I find a restaurant that has that perfect combination of great food and fantastic service, I tell everyone I know about it. That restaurant isn't paying me to tell people about it; I'm doing it because of the positive experience I had there. And I want others to share that experience.
When we encounter the life-changing power of Jesus Christ, we should be just as passionate about telling others about that too. Just as the woman who met Jesus at the well (John 4) couldn’t help but tell everyone in town because she wanted them all to share her experience. Found people find people!
Did you know that 82% of people say they would accept an invitation to attend church if invited? Yet only 2% of church going people ever invite someone in a given year (The Unchurched Next Door by Thom Rainer). Found people find people!
Easter Sunday is the easiest Sunday all year to invite someone to church. Invite your friends to share this incredible Sunday with you! Share the invite cards you picked up at Aldersgate with your family, neighbors, coworkers, and even random strangers (there’s a few cards left at the church). Text an invite message to the contacts in your phone. Share Aldersgate’s Easter invite on your social media platforms. Found people find people!
So, who are you bringing to church Sunday?
