Please think about joining the new "Everybody Welcome" course, starting Wednesday 29th September at 8pm and running for 4 weeks.
“Just think what the impact would be if not 10 per cent but 25 per cent or even 50 per cent of the people who try out our church succeed in becoming regular congregation members!”
“Everybody Welcome” is a complete course to transform the church by improving our approach to newcomers. Believing that welcoming is a ministry for every member of the church, it offers guidance for the entire congregation and will help every individual to play their part in improving the integration of new arrivals. There are four sessions:
Discover – making the church more visible
The premises – making them more inviting
A welcoming God and his welcoming people
Belonging to the church community
The course has been developed by Bob Jackson, Archdeacon of Walsall, a highly respected consultant on issues of church growth.
“Most churches think that they are friendly, but is mainly because we are friendly with one another. We may say 'All are welcome' but not realise how unwelcoming we appear to the outsider. 'Everybody Welcome' is about removing the barbed wire and making our welcome central to all we do and the people we are.”
I encourage as many people as possible to come to this course. Please sign up on the sheets at the back of church. David
