Who are You Going to Invite to National
Back to Church Sunday?
It’s time to reach out and invite your neighbors to church! People
need to know that there is hope and a community of people like our church who
will love them and do life with them. Rockford Baptist Church is joining the
National Back to Church Sunday movement to help "Invite America Back to
Church” on Sunday September 15.
According to Lifeway Resources, 82% of unchurched people
would attend church if someone invited them! Yet fewer than 2% of Christians
ever invite an unchurched person to come to church! Even if you have never
tried inviting someone to church, we are going to make it easy this fall with a
special service.
It’s not as hard as it may seem. Did you know that most
people who have dropped out of church haven’t lost their faith in God—they
simply fell out of the habit of going to church? Some moved, had a change in
life circumstances, or had a falling out with their former church and simply
drifted away. Most often, life just became too busy. This means many of them
could be open to returning to church.
We encourage you to step out in faith and invite someone to
rediscover church. We are planning a special service on September 15th
so that our new guests will feel welcome and comfortable. Inviting a friend is
a simple gesture that could change someone’s life.
By participating in this national movement, we will be joining thousands of other churches across America in helping invite everyone to church. Last year, 13,150 churches from 42 denominations participated and together they gave out an estimated 7.5 million invitations to church. Our church is one of the 20,000 churches expected to participate this year.

This year, let’s reach out to our friends, family and
neighbors with printed invitations, Facebook posts, and personal asks. We will
be handing out invitations on (Date) for you to deliver to your friends and
family. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to invite your friends and family to
church with you.
