1. Feel free to invite family and friends who go to a different church for that Sunday. The goal for this first meeting is to not only to invite people who don't go to church, but to invite other believers who can be our guinea pigs, our test subjects who are safe and love us already even if we bomb (which we won't, right God!). We also could use them because the more people who can help us naturally love those who have never been in church before the better.
2. Invite those people who are your good friends who don't go to church to just support our efforts and our hard work. Don't just invite them because they "need it", but ask them to come and give us feed back on what they thought. Would they come back? Why or why not? This would help our efforts. We don't want to create something nobody wants to come to, so if they will come and tell us why they would or would not come back that would be super helpful to us!
3. Invite people who God puts on your heart, it might not make sense, but God usually doesn't make sense (His ways are different than ours and His thoughts are higher than ours), but lets be faithful to invite those He puts on our heasrts.
4. Invite people who have gone to church before but haven't been in a church for a while. They will most likely be open to checking it out because they kind of know what to expect and they might like being apart of something new.
5. Lastly and most importantly, Lets bring our 1st service to God's attention multiple times daily. Lets constantly be inviting Him to our 1st service, lets ask Him to open peoples hearts as we ask them to join us, and lets ask for His will to be done that day like every other day!!
Also we need to start putting our feelers out there for equipment were gonna need to make this thing happen. Were gonna need all kinds of equipment like: Sound, video, drink, children, etc. So if you know someone who has some stuff, ask if we can use, borrow, or see if they are interested in donating their stuff to a great cause!! If you have anything that would be beneficial to our service, let us know ASAP. Also if God is putting us on your heart and you would like to write a check to cover some of the stuff were gonna need, anything would help greatly!! Lets all ask God to provide all He wants us to have for this first week!!
Also I have attached some pic's from our meeting and BBQ this past week. 1 thing is for sure... Our Church knows how to eat together!! Thanks for your time and I am excited about what God is up to with Intersect!!
