Send in the name of the baby, parents, and their address, and they will receive a letter of congratulation from the President and First Lady. It costs nothing, and you'll create a special memory for the family. We've found a good way to introduce new members using the video projector. Before and after each service, we show their photographs on the overhead screen. Using PowerPoint, we include a brief biographical sketch, favorite Bible verse, and a fun fact or two.
Newcomers feel welcome, and it helps the rest of the church connect new faces with names.
Dean Reule Cypress Point Community Church Tampa, Florida Orchestrated Outreach Searching for musicians for a new worship team, we started free music classes. The Monday night sessions proved to be a real breakthrough for our fledgling church of 30. Up to 11 gathered each week, many who didn't go to church anywhere. I taught them the basics of their instruments, how to play as a group, and how to use our sound equipment. We had a recital and all their families came.
