Make Use of Christmas Eve

Most churches will have quite a few first time guests on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve is one of the only times a segment of people in our communities are going to come to church. It is a time when people are open to the invitation to the Gospel and January with its fresh starts, new beginning and resolutions is coming up. What better time than this to invite people back after the new year for a special message series.

At New Season, we usually do a January message series on relationships or sex. Yes, God did design us to be in relationship and did design us to have sex within the bounds he set up. For 2009 we are doing the "Ultimate Guide to the Opposite Sex."

One way to invite people back for January is to make use of small postcards/ invites that will go in the Christmas Eve worship program. Another way, is to put together a short 45sec-1:30min video trailer for the series you can show on Christmas Eve. Whatever means is used the worship leader should announce the series and invite people to return for it.
