Back to Church Sunday

Although 83 percent of American adults identify themselves as Christians, only about 20 percent attend church on any given Sunday. Only 2 percent of church members invite others on a regular basis.

Yet, a study by LifeWay Research and the North American Mission Board of more than 15,000 Americans found 67 percent say a personal invitation from a family member would be effective in getting them to visit a church. Sixty-three percent say an invitation from a friend or neighbor would likely move them to respond. 

Someone you know needs to be back in church. Pick up the phone now and invite them. Don’t make it a once a year thing. You can invite someone back to church anytime. Ask your waitress and check out person where they attend church. You are likely to hear that they used to go to church but something happened that gave them the excuse not to return. Ask them to come back. you will bless them and you.
