A Moment With Pastor Fred

In three weeks one of holiest of celebrations for Christians will be observed. Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus. It is also a time where unbelievers are more open to come to church. We want to take advantage of that cultural tendency. Please use the enclosed card to invite someone to breakfast that Sunday and then stay for our Easter service. It’s really quite simple. A neighbor, a friend, a co-worker, a family member. Remember, we’re not trying to pull people from another Bible-teaching church. Our focus is on unbelievers – or believers who don’t attend church.

Statistics reveal more people come to church by personal invitation than any other method. Everyone has a circle of people who need Christ. You can be a strategic part of helping them come to the Lord. Andrew, Peter’s brother, was responsible for introducing the apostle to Christ. Please use this card. Don’t throw it away.  Just say, “I’d like to invite you to be my guest at church on Easter – breakfast and our Easter service.” There are more cards on the kiosk.

For those of us who call HBC home, remember Easter will be a day when our auditorium will be filled with guests – you and I are the hosts. It’s just like someone coming to your home as a guest. Greet folks. Smile. You take the role of speaking first.

We need you to sign up for the breakfast potluck – indicate what you will bring along with how many will attend. This helps us to set things up. We’ll need to set up the tables next   Sunday after our service. 

Mostly, let’s pray for a glorious day.
