Invite A Friend Day
Posted November 8, 2008

On Sunday, November 23rd, we will expect a great number of new faces in our worship services because we will be bringing friends. This Sunday before Thanksgiving will be a great day to invite friends, family members, or coworkers to come and enjoy some time with God. The message for the day is entitled "Gratitude Grows Faith". As we experience stressful times in our world, how can we choose to be grateful? Anytime should be a good time to invite friends. But, on Sunday November 23rd, let's have some fun challenging each other to bring at least one friend that day. Invitation cards for you to use to help extend your personal invitations to friends are included with church bulletin.
