Easter is 3 Weeks Away

We are excited to celebrate this Easter with you! Believe it or not, Easter is only 3 weeks away! We want to encourage you to invite those in your lives who are not connected to a local church to join you at CFC this year. People are far more receptive to someone inviting them to church for Easter; they may even be expecting an inviation. We were created for relationships, so it’s no surprise that a personal invitation goes a long way!
 
Church studies from Thom Rainer have revealed a lot in regards to this topic. Did you know that 67% of Americans say a personal invitation from a family member would be very or somewhat effective in getting them to visit a church? Also, 63% of Americans say a personal invitation from a friend or neighbor would be very or somewhat effective in getting them to visit a church. These numbers, while already high, increase greatly around Easter. According to Rainer, 8 out of 10 people will say “yes” to a personal invite to church around Easter. Rainer also says that 7 out of 10 unchurched people have never even been invited to a church. If you compare those two stats, there is quite a large number of people who would come to church if someone they knew and respected would invite them.
 
CFC Family, a small gesture could put someone on a new trajectory! Invite them! Easter commemorates the most important moment in Christianity. Everything hinges on whether or not Christ bodily rose from the grave. If we believe this story to be true, how can we not think of someone to invite? You can provide them with more information at onlineCFC.com/Easter, which has service times and a link to guest information.
 
Saturday evening (which will not have Children’s Ministry classes) is a great option for those serving on Sunday, those who are hosting family gatherings on Sunday, and those who want to make space for all the visitors on Easter (this is a big need). Our building will be packed on Sunday, and we can't wait for everyone who will be here to hear the life-changing news of Jesus – the Good News!
 
This Sunday isn’t Easter yet, but we are just as excited to worship with you this week!
