The Doors are Open

Sunday September 25 is Back to Church Sunday in the Diocese of Huron.
When was the last time you invited someone to come to church with you?
Perhaps there is somebody that has asked about church.  Why do you go to church/  What do you do at church? What do you find meaningful about church?
Perhaps there is someone who has asked you about God. 
Now is the time to invite that person to come to church with you.
There are many reasons why people give for not attending church. 
Back to Church Sunday is not about those reasons.  It is not about trying to convince people that they should come to church and it is not about responding to their reasons for not coming to church.
It is about extending an invitation and allowing God to work in the life of that person to overcome their fears and objections.
As Paul wrote to the church at Corinth, " I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow." (1 Corinthians 3:6)
Consider planting some seeds on September 25.
