INVITE YOUR FRIEND FOR 'FRIEND DAY'

I keep hearing more and more reports of people who are bringing unchurched friends to be with us on FRIEND DAY, 2006!

Keep praying about who, among your non-churchgoing friends you'll be inviting to be with us for FRIEND DAY, 2006.

Friend Day is another way we can express our love of God and neighbor, a day when we invite our friends to know the best friend any of us has: Jesus Christ. The Bible says that it's only through Christ that we meet God, experience forgiveness of sins, and have the power of God for living today. The Bible says that the Church is God's family in the world, the fellowship within which we experience the power to live life God's way. Every Christian should want to share Christ and the fellowship of the Church with the world!

Friend Day happens this coming Sunday, October 29.

Here's how you can get ready for a great Friend Day, 2006:

• List all those among your classmates, co-workers, family members, and others who need Jesus Christ and an ongoing connection with Christ's body, the Church.
• Then, pray that God will open the wills of those you've listed.
• Pray too, that God will give you the love and the faith to invite them to be with us on Friend Day.
• Pray also that God will work in the lives of your friends as they experience worship with us on that morning.
• Make sure that you're present for Friend Day, too!

In the power of God, it's going to be a great day!
