Planning Your Friendship Sunday Use your imagination and allow your creativity to guide you in developing your own unique style of welcome. Be true to your practice so that visitors will recognize your way of worship when they return. If you include communion in your Friendship Sunday plans, make sure that visitors are clearly informed, invited and included. Don't embarrass your visitors by asking them to stand individually. Feature your choirs and upbeat, singable music.
Instruments can also lend excitement.
Remember the children. Feature your children's choir, a children's sermon or other forms of hospitality directed toward children. As you plan, remember that your first Friendship Sunday may not be a huge, numerical success. You will welcome new visitors. Depending on your planning and publicity, you may welcome a large number of visitors.
