CHRISTMAS OUTREACH This Christmas, God will prompt millions of people around the world to attend church. For some reason, people who dont normally go to church will make a decision to do so at Christmas. What can you do? Christmas Outreach in 2 Weeks! Would you consider inviting someone who doesnt normally go to church to join you on Sunday, December 9th for morning worship and our Christmas Luncheon at 11 AM? A neighbor with no family nearby, an un-churched coworker, or a long time friend are all more likely to say yes to a personal church invitation over the Christmas holiday. Lets commit to invite at least three un-churched friends, family or neighbors to church that day! 1. _____________ 2. _____________ 3. _____________ Giveaway Invite Cards We have several hundred invitation cards for you to giveaway, with time & location of Christmas luncheon & Sunday Services. Locate yours in this bulletin or on the literature table and give them away to people you know! Prayer If you are hesitant to invite people you know to church, you can begin by taking the less-intimidating step of praying for your friends and the church during our Christmas outreach. Would you commit to pray daily? Yes, I will pray daily! Special Sermon Series On outreach Sunday, December 9th, Pastor Steve will begin an advent sermon series entitled Come Thou Long Expected Jesus. We will also have special gift books as a way of saying thank you to our guests that day, an excellent advent devotional book with 22 two-page devotions by famous authors, ancient & modern. Holiday Break During the holiday season, we will take a holiday recess and resume in mid-January. Last day of Sunday School is December 2. Last day of Midweek Ministries is December 5.
