Posted by: | Comments
Mother’s day is a big attendance Sunday life of the congregation. Studies have indicated that many people who do not have church homes may visit. Guests may include fathers, husbands, brothers and sons who do not regularly attend worship. In addition adult children, sisters, daughters and even grandchildren may help to make up the attendance on Mother’s day. Here are some ideas.

Imagine…Ester has been a member of your church for more than twenty years. Her kids grew up in your church. Now her kids have children and live in the area. To Ester’s regret, her son and daughter no longer attend church and neither does her husband. Mother’s day is a few days away, what will your church do to help Ester reach out to her family?
Encourage your members to invite friends and family this Mother’s day. Intentionally reaching out and inviting may help us be even more faithful to the Great Commission. As Matthew 28:19 reminds us, 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, …”, let us seek ways that we reach out and invite for Mother’s Day. What can you say starting this Sunday to equip members to get the word out even in their own family.

How can the church reach the men we’ve lost to TV remotes, Sunday basketball games and other “guy” things? For starters, we must take an honest look at the impression we generate most Sundays. When guys sit in the pews does anything or anyone invite them to return? Think about it. Many of the “upfront folks” with the exception of male pastors are female. For example, in some congregations you’ll see mostly female ushers, choir members and worship leaders. In addition, the outside of some bulletins look feminine. When the announcements are read, we hear about Women’s Day, women’s circles, Girl Scouts, denomination’s women’s group, bake sales and the list goes on. In other words so much of what we say and do may sound like a welcome to women only. If we want to engage the guys and invite them to be active in the ministry, it makes sense to start with what we say even this coming Sunday.
