We recognize that many of you have been attending faithfully throughout this year, however, there are many people who have been away due to holidays and family activities that have been interspersed throughout the weeks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;With this in mind we are welcoming every person and family back, and are looking forward to tremendous times of ministry to our church families in the months ahead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Did you know that 7 out of 10 people who currently don't attend church have never been invited?  Yet they would come if someone invited them?  This is an amazing statistic! It provides a great opportunity for us attending church to do our part in reaching out to our family and friends who are not in a church on a faithful basis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Our challenge is simple!  Think of at least 10 people or families you can invite to our ‘Welcome Back To Church’ month of May.  Write their names down and start looking for opportunities to invite them ‘Back To Church’!  You also have the opportunity to invite them to your weekly life group meeting. For some, it might be the first time they have attended church?  For others, it may be the encouragement they need to come back to church?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Let us be intentional and prayerful as we consider whom to invite.  Again, at least 10 people, but if you feel led to invite more, by all means, go ahead!  We are encouraging all our members to reach out with the love of God!  We will pray that the Holy Spirit will open people’s hearts to receive His love and your invitation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"Be strong and courageous" Deuteronomy  31:6.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Blessings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Frank&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://everynationsomersetwest.blogspot.com/feeds/3363219853709658203/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://everynationsomersetwest.blogspot.com/2013/05/welcome-back-to-church.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3067200204420944170/posts/default/3363219853709658203'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3067200204420944170/posts/default/3363219853709658203'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://everynationsomersetwest.blogspot.com/2013/05/welcome-back-to-church.html' title='Welcome Back To Church!'/><author><name>Every Nation Somerset West</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00204071868871581516</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8uT7_nDj0mk/UYkHmEyDqTI/AAAAAAAAAPI/NGL-Btz4h3g/s72-c/welcome-back-banner.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
