In our Church Conference Sunday Night April 28, we divided into small groups who were given the assignment: “Name 10 Reasons To Invite Someone (friend, neighbor, family member, co-worker) To King’s.” The group only had 5 minutes to compile their lists.
BELOW ARE THOSE LISTS:
GROUP A
1) Choir: where else can a person “sing as to the Lord”, this attracts and keeps many even if they don’t personally stand up there…..it also undergirds the music and encourages everyone to join in
2) Multigenerational…..for sure!
3) Greeters: yes, we need more
4) Solid biblical preaching and teaching:
5) Have many ministries, something for everyone, but probably could advertise that more.
6) Solid by-laws
7) Attractive and clean environment.
Note: “ If it was a sin 100 years ago, it’s still a sin today. Don’t water down the Gospel for this offended generation”
