As Pastor of Evangelism I am focused on finding the best ways to be hospitable to visitors and members, offer a comfortable and challenging worship environment, effectively communicate in a variety of mediums and ultimately tell the gospel story to all who will listen. We had a great kick-off meeting two weeks ago for our new H.O.M.E. Team and the breakout teams of Hospitality, Outreach, Marketing and Evangelism are creating action plans for implementation. It is not too late to be a part of these teams. If you missed the kick-off meeting and would like to use your gifts in these areas, please let me know.
Being hospitable, reaching out to others, promoting Liberty UMC to your friends and neighbors and telling them of the love of God is really all of our responsibilities. The church, as the body of Christ, needs all of the parts working together. We often, especially in the summer months, have difficulty finding enough ushers, communion servers, greeters and teachers. Please consider serving in one of these capacities if possible.
There are many other ways that we can help people feel at H.O.M.E. here at Liberty UMC. Here are a few that come to mind:
· Wear your nametag!
· Signup to have your picture taken for the pictorial directory.
· Make an effort to get to know at least one new person each week.
· Reach out to people you see in worship and pass in the halls that you may not recognize, and offer to help them find their way.
· Personally invite your friends, relatives, acquaintances and neighbors to worship with you and to your small group. This system is called F.R.A.N. Networking.
· Show and Tell others about your walk with Christ and your H.O.M.E. Church, Liberty UMC. Sharing your
faith with someone else will have eternal rewards!
God Bless,
Scott
