Prepping for September Rally Sunday? Consider This!

Please click on this site to read  the article, "Inviting, Informing, and Including Newcomers" in The Parish Paper by  Cynthia Woolever (July 2018). 

As Ms. Woolever says, "Three Pillars of Evangelism.   Three complementary efforts serve the congregation’s ministry goals: inviting, informing, and including new people. Just like a three-pillared tower, without one support, the overall purpose becomes unstable. To invite is to increase the church’s visibility and relevance, to inform is to offer opportunities for connection, and to include means spiritual experiences that promote Christian maturity and growth. Which effort needs more intention and planning in your congregation?"
