Bring someone with you
Most people come to church for the first time because someone they know asked them. Here are a few easy ways to ask.
Send a text or an email
Pick one, change the words so they sound like you, then tap Text it or Email it. Your phone opens a new message with the words already in it; you choose who it goes to.
Hand someone a card
A small invitation with the time, the address and a code that opens our Plan a Visit page. Easy to keep in a wallet, a car or a coat pocket.
- Business-card size: 10 to a page. Print on Avery 8371 or 5371 cards, or on card stock and cut.
- Quarter-page size: 4 to a page, with a little more about what to expect. Print on card stock and cut on the lines.
A few easy ways to ask
- Offer to sit together, or meet them in the parking lot so they don't walk in alone.
- Offer a ride. It's one less thing to figure out.
- Make a plan for after, like lunch together.
- Pray for them by name before you ask, and again after.
- If they say no, that's fine. They'll remember that you asked.
