Back to Church Sunday
Sunday, September 27th, 2009
Our Parish is participating in an exciting opportunity to invite people back to church. Back to Church Sunday is a successful campaign launched in the UK which provides an opportunity to reconnect with those who have lost touch with the church and invite them back. People drop out of church for all sorts of reasons but millions would come back with an invitation.
On Sunday, September 27th, 2009 everyone in the Parish is encouraged to invite a friend to church. The idea is that through a personal invitation to a friend or acquaintance those who have for some reason stopped attending church will return.
The campaign will show we are a welcoming church and it’s a great opportunity for us to reach out and share the good news of Jesus with others who have in the past been a part of the story, but for some reason are not at present a part of a worshipping community.
Three things you can do:
Pray for someone you know who doesn’t go to church.
Visit someone on the Parish list, a friend or neighbour, to invite them.
Offer to drive that person to church on September 27th .
I know we will see God's blessing as we faithfully take up this challenge and privilege.
