"Invite Someone New"

The "Invite Someone New" Challenge: Let's Grow Our Church Family Together!

Have you ever thought about the impact a simple invitation can have? For many of us, Church is a place of comfort, community, and spiritual growth. Yet, there are so many people in our lives—friends, neighbors, coworkers—who might be searching for exactly that but haven’t found it yet. This is where you come in!

We’re excited to introduce the "Invite Someone New" Challenge—a simple but powerful way to help our church grow and reach more people with the message of love, hope, and faith.

Here’s how you can get involved:

1. Extend a Personal Invitation

Think about someone in your life who might benefit from the fellowship and spiritual guidance that our Church offers. Maybe it’s a friend who’s going through a tough time, a neighbor who’s new to the area, or even a colleague who’s mentioned an interest in finding a Church home. Extend a warm, genuine invitation for them to join you at our next service or event. Let them know they’re welcome, and offer to attend together so they don’t have to go alone.

2. Share Our Church’s Social Media Posts

Social media is a powerful tool for spreading the word about our Church’s mission and activities. Help us reach more people by sharing our Church’s posts on your own social media platforms. Whether it’s a post about an upcoming event, a powerful sermon clip, or a message of encouragement, sharing these posts can open up new opportunities for others to discover what our Church has to offer.

3. Be Welcoming and Inclusive

If someone accepts your invitation, make sure their experience is as welcoming as possible. Introduce them to others, show them around, and make them feel at home. Your warmth and hospitality can make all the difference in helping them feel comfortable and connected. Remember, the goal is not just to invite people to Church but to help them become a part of our Church family.

4. Share Your Story

Has your life been positively impacted by attending our Church? Share your story! Whether it’s a conversation over coffee or a heartfelt post on social media, your personal testimony can be a powerful way to inspire others to take that first step. Let them know what our Church means to you and how it could be a source of strength and community for them as well.

5. Pray for Guidance

Finally, don’t forget to pray for guidance as you take on this challenge. Ask God to show you who might need an invitation and to give you the courage and words to reach out to them. Prayer is a powerful way to align your intentions with God’s will and to open your heart to the needs of others.

By taking part in the "Invite Someone New" Challenge, you’re helping to grow our Church community and to share the love of Christ with those who may be searching for it. Let’s work together to make our Church a place where everyone feels welcome and valued.

So, who will you invite this week? Start with a simple invitation and share our Church’s posts—your efforts could change someone’s life in ways you never imagined. Let’s embrace this challenge with open hearts and see how God works through us to bring more people into our community of Faith!

"Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling."
