People don’t need another Christmas event invitation.
They need to hear how people like them found hope in your church this year.
Stop promoting events. Start sharing stories.

I have an orthodox rabbi friend in New Jersey who once told me he didn’t believe Jesus was the Messiah because:
“Jews judge the qualifications of a rabbi by the behavior of his followers”
The same is true for unchurch people—they judge Jesus by the behavior of his followers.

We need more churches that are NOT making it difficult for those who are turning to God.
This means ACTUALLY making unchurched people feel welcome—not just saying they are.
And IMO, that starts by explaining insider language at weekend services!
