EVANGELISM and RETENTION

Those two words must be our obsession in 2007, as servanthood has been in 2006.

Evangelism is sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with our spiritually-disconnected friends, neighbors, co-workers, and acquaintances. Every Friendship household should make it their goal to invite and bring one unchurched household into the membership of our congregation by December, 2007. As you invite people, make sure your invitations are personal and not canned. Who have you invited to worship this week?

Retention is being the kind of loving, caring, involved member who telephones or emails Friendship friends they haven't seen for awhile, who offers other members assistance, and a loving ear.

EVANGELISM and RETENTION are shorthand terms describing our vision for 2007:
  • Exalt the Lord
  • Each one reach one
  • Engage in service
  • Expand your vision
