Invite a Friend to Church

From one of our members who has moved out of state:

"The other Sunday, we visited a church for the first time.

 During the sermon, the relatively new minister shared thoughts on his observations of his first seven months.  What caught my attention was his listing of sources for new members at mainline churches.  Here’s what he shared:

• 3% came through evangelistic crusades or revivals
•  
• 4% came through church programs
•  
• 4% came through Sunday school
•  
• 5% came as walk-ins
•  
• 8% came because of the pastor
•  
• 76% came through friends or relatives"

Do you think this applies to St. Mark Presbyterian as well?  You have probably noted that "Discover St. Mark" has become our "brand".  Our church is not easy to find, but once people find it, they have found a treasure.  Don't you want to share this "treasure" with your friends and family?  Invite them to an event, to worship, to your small group.  Let them discover the warmth, the caring of our church.
