SHARE THE GOOD NEWS

Invite someone to worship this summer
Most people come to a certain church as a result of an invitation from a friend. As you talk with friends, neighbors and co-workers, keep in mind your commission to be an ambassador of Jesus. Invite them to get to know Jesus, to share the blessing of God’s gifts you enjoy. In addition, proudly tell the story of how God has worked in your life through the ministry of this community. God has called each of us – from the youngest to the oldest – to share the good news of Jesus, to overcome barriers and to connect one to many in love of God.
Share information about VBS
A fun way to introduce friends to Jesus is to invite them to take part in Vacation Bible School with you. We offer Vacation Bible School in the evenings so that entire families can take part if they wish. Another option may be to invite busy parents to bring their children to Vacation Bible School and to take that time to enjoy a “date night” or two. Be creative in your invitation. This isn’t the same old VBS.
Guess who’s coming to dinner
You don’t have to go door to door to witness to the good news of Jesus or to change and save a life. You can just invite a friend into your house for dinner. Stories of God’s love are best shared in intimate settings over dinner and maybe even a glass of good wine. That’s the way Jesus shared the good news.
