  BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY 28 September 2008  
 

On Sunday 28th September thousands of people will be inviting someone special back to church with them. People lose touch for all sorts of reasons, but millions would come back with an invitation. The Church Times describes the Back to Church Sunday as evangelism at its easiest. It’s about being able to say three phrases: I’m going, it will be good, and would you like to come too? In late August invitations will be available in church and between now and then we need to be thinking and praying about who we could invite. For the person who has not been to church for a few years coming with someone else make all the difference.
