Many people who rarely darken the door of a church will come and see the Sunday school Christmas program or to hear the Christmas cantata presented by the church choir. There is a great deal of excitement generated on these special days.
People are more careful to welcome visitors and to show genuine pleasure that they have come.
Don't fail to capitalize on the golden opportunity for new contacts that this presents. Be sure that visitors sign your church guest book or fill out cards with their name, address and telephone number. This will make it possible for you to contact them again later by visiting their home or placing a telephone call of invitation to some other special event or activity within your church or Sunday school. This is the first step in drawing someone into the fellowship of your church and Sunday school. Research proves that most people come to a church for the first time because they know someone who belongs to that church.
