This Sunday at NRN we are celebrating National Back to Church Sunday. According to LifeWay Research, 38 percent of people are receptive or highly receptive to attending church. 82 percent say they would be open to attending church if a friend invited them.
Last evening at dinner at a local restaurant our server came to the table to comment how he appreciated the fact that we openly prayed for our meal. When we asked if we attend church in the area - we promptly said yes - and inquired if he attended church. He said "yes, however I am looking for a church closer to my house." with that - we invited him to church on Sunday. He gave us a sheet of paper to ask for directions and I included our website and the time of worship on Sunday. We are now praying and hope he will join us this Sunday.
That's how easy it is. To this point this week I have invited 6 people to church. You have a friend waiting to be asked by you to church this Sunday. Why not make that phone call or send that email right now. A simply invitation could change a persons life forever.
