Please send comments to the editor, Robert L. Robertson. Training leaders for small group ministry in the local church is the added focus for Making Disciples 2000 in 1997. Ideas for Bring A Friend Sunday by Rev. Marsha Engle, Division of Evangelism chair I am known as a fan of Bring A Friend Sunday, and not just because I chair the Division of Evangelism for the North Texas Conference. For the past three years, the congregations I have served have received many benefits from Bring A Friend Sunday.
Several things happen when a local church gets involved.
First, the event itself is a lot of fun. Secondly, Bring A Friend Sunday is not just an event. It is a tool for helping congregations become better equipped to invite and welcome people all year long. This is absolutely true. Now a local church can have a Bring A Friend Sunday event, or it can have a Bring A Friend Sunday event.
