Yes, This is really me, Pastor Jason explaining what I hope you’ll do this Easter Sunday.
#1
Sit in the front middle of the sanctuary, WORSHIP PASSIONATELY, and respond to the preaching.
10 people like that can change the atmosphere of a whole room.
#2
Look for people who seem new and greet them. Ask if they want to sit with you.
New people do not care as much about lights and sound systems. People would rather be LOVED than WOWED.
Don’t ask “Are you new?”, ask “How long have you been at Bridge?”
#3
As soon as you arrive, begin praying for the Presence of God to fall on services.
#4
Invite people. Studies show ~80% of Americans would say “yes” if invited by a friend to an Easter service.
It doesn’t have to be awkward, just shoot a text like this:
“Hey, our family is headed to Bridge this weekend, and honestly it’s always so good for us and our kids. No pressure, but if you don’t have any place to go, do you want to sit with us??”
#5
Be your awesome self!
BONUS: Easter will be even better if you silence your phone, go to the bathroom before (instead of during) the service, and wait until the end to leave (rather than leaving during the last song).
