Back to Church Sunday 2014 -8Reasons why people don’t go to church?

What’s yours?

  • Tired? 
  • Worried? 
  • My family doesn’t want to go? 
  • What does church have for me?
  • Can’t get the kids ready on time?
  • I can make it on my own.  Church is for the weak minded.

“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”Luke 10:27, NIV

Who are You Going to Invite to National Back to Church Sunday?

Back to Church Sunday 2014 -1

It’s time to reach out and invite your neighbors to church!  People need to know that there is hope and a community of people like our church who will love them and do life with them.

Central United Methodist Church is joining the National Back to Church Sunday movement to help “Invite America Back to Church” on Sunday September 21.

According to Lifeway Resources, 82% of unchurched people would attend church if someone invited them!  Yet fewer than 2% of Christians ever invite an unchurched person to come to church!  Even if you have never tried inviting someone to church, we are going to make it easy this fall with a special service.

It’s not as hard as it may seem.  Did you know that most people who have dropped out of church haven’t lost their faith in God—they simply fell out of the habit of going to church?  Some moved, had a change in life circumstances, or had a falling out with their former church and simply drifted away.  Most often, life just became too busy.  This means many of them could be open to returning to church.

We encourage you to step out in faith and invite someone to rediscover church.  We are planning a special service on September 15th so that our new guests will feel welcome and comfortable. Inviting a friend is a simple gesture that could change someone’s life.

By participating in this national movement, we will be joining thousands of other churches across America in helping invite everyone to church.  Last year, 13,150 churches from 42 denominations participated and together they gave out an estimated 7.5 million invitations to church.  Our church is one of the 20,000 churches expected to participate this year.

This year, let’s reach out to our friends, family and neighbors with printed invitations, Facebook posts, and personal asks.  We have invitations in the Church Office for you to deliver to your friends and family.  You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to invite your friends and family to church with you.
