See You at Church

Did you know that over 73% of the people survey said no one had ever invited them to church. That is the results of a recent survey that was done by Thom Rainer. As a pastor in church that concerns me as much as anything that I have read recently, because it shows that the church has lost it desire to evangelize on the lowest level. I mean let's face it, there is not allot of effort in inviting someone to come to church. I mean if you don't have enough excitement in where you worship as not to want to invite someone to come and be a part of the service then perhaps you are going to the wrong church. We have to be doing all that we can to bring people into the house of God so that they can come in contact with our savior Jesus Christ.
In September we have kicked off a "See You at Church" campaign. In this campaign we have challenged each person that attends our church to go out an bring some to the house of God. We have a goal of breaking our attendance record, and I am glad to say we are well on the way. You maybe reading this post and thinking, when is the last time I invited someone to church? Well, when was it? You can start today, and together we can make sure that every person has been given an invitation.
